Pasting full-width space into location bar will be converted to half width

Reported by human.p...@gmail.com, Jan 2 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.39 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Copy the following url (don't click): https://imasml-theater-wiki.gamerch.com/セクシークロコダイル 徳川まつり

Notice that between "ル 徳" there is a full-width space
2. Paste into location bar
3. Observe the string, it suddenly became half width
4. And because of that, user can't access to the correct page (this website distinguishes "/セクシークロコダイル 徳川まつり" and "/セクシークロコダイル 徳川まつり").

What is the expected behavior?
It should remain full-width

What went wrong?
It got converted into half-width space, which results in wrong webpage.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 64.0.3282.39  Channel: beta
OS Version: 10.0

Unable to reproduce the issue on reported chrome version 64.0.3282.39 and on the latest canary 65.0.3309.0 with the below mentioned steps.
1. Launched chrome, Copied https://imasml-theater-wiki.gamerch.com/セクシークロコダイル 徳川まつり
2. Pasted it into address bar/Omnibox then clicked enter
3. Tried by givng an additional space between "ル 徳" in another tab

We observed both the URLs gave similar results. Attaching the screen cast of the same.

@Reporter: Could you please check the screen cast and let us know if we have missed any steps while reproducing the issue. Any further inputs from your end helps us to triage the issue in a better way.

Thanks!

You did it wrong. It's supposed to be ONE full-width space " " (U+3000), not two normal half-width spaces. So manually add one more space won't work.

The actual link should be (after URI encoding): https://imasml-theater-wiki.gamerch.com/%E3%82%BB%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B7%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B3%E3%83%80%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB%E3%80%80%E5%BE%B3%E5%B7%9D%E3%81%BE%E3%81%A4%E3%82%8A"

And because Chrome location bar *always* replace it when you are pasting, you have to find a way to type that full-width space directly (I use Japanese input method to do that, not sure about you unfortunately).

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfwidth_and_fullwidth_forms 

They're mainly used in CJK, and full-width space is prominently used in Japanese.

Another observation: 

Chrome will convert other full-width characters to their half-width counterparts, but only when you hit "enter": try bing.com  (Firefox didn't do this either, just for comparison).
Only the full-width space will be converted at pasting (but regardless, it will mess up the URL I provided if you want to input it from location bar other than from link).
