Add a short transition to omnibox user begins editing and the VerboseChip disappears

Reported by billdill...@gmail.com, Nov 23 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
a small suggestion to make things a little bit easier on the eyes when a user starts editing the URL of encrypted (HTTPS) sites: as an example, go to https://www.wikipedia.org , click on the URL and backspace or type anything, notice that the green lock icon and the green "Secure" disappear and the URL moves over. To make this experience easier for the users eyes to keep track, there should be a short animation showing the URL moving/scrolling over to this position. At the moment, it just appears there without any animation or transition, which makes it harder on the users eyes to keep track

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
I've attached a screenshot showing an example of what happens

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 62.0.3202.94  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version:

Adding a short animation/transition to URL bar when user starts editing the URL of encrypted site seems to be a feature request.

Hence, marking it as untriaged to get more inputs from dev team.

Thanks...!!

Seems like a nice polish request to me.

Adding UI>Browser>Omnibox>SecurityIndicators>VerboseChip, as this has to do with the security chip.  Maybe one of them can help make this transition from not-editing + security chip -> editing without security chip smoother.
Ya and something very similar made it to Chrome recently (I think v61 or v62): when you are on a new tab page, if you go to a website, you will see the "New Tab" text slide/scroll over smoothly to make space for the loading sites favicon

the title of this should probably be changed because I just noticed that it's not just encrypted sites, non-encrypted sites have "Not secure" text there

I just noticed Chrome for Android already does this, except you don't need to edit the URL, it happens as soon as you tap the URL
Do the changes detailed here have any effect on this issue? https://blog.chromium.org/2018/05/evolving-chromes-security-indicators.html

CC tommycli@, as this is probably? moot with his work on differentiating the steady-state omnibox and the edit-state omnibox.
if I'm understanding that post correctly, it will still be an issue for HTTP sites because they will still say “Not secure”

Max, could you take a look at this suggestion and see if you think it's worth doing? Thanks!
We currently have a lot of moving parts in the omnibox and suggestions UI, including work on a transition that shifts the URL to the right for alignment with the dropdown suggestions. I'll follow up once we have landed on a solution for these bigger UI changes.
Because of the changes made recently, the original example I gave ( https://www.wikipedia.org/ ) is no longer a problem, but what about sites like https://www.apple.com/ ? The attached screenshot is Chrome 69 beta on Windows
