[Mac desktop] Consider not auto-navigating on drop into omnibox

Project Member Reported by sangwoo...@gmail.com, Mar 16 2018

Issue description

Now views implementation doesn't auto-navigate when user drops a string into omnibox. This change was made from  bug 791259 

Steps to reproduce the problem(from original issue):
1. Select a lot of text on a page
2. "Accidentally" drag it into the address bar (note: on Linux here at least, the address bar is entirely obscured by the large opaque selection rectangle that you're dragging)
3. Observe Chrome send all of it your default search provider

What is the expected behavior?
Just paste the string and don't auto-navigate.

Sounds reasonable, but I think the current implementation is working as intended. 

Emily, would you like to change this behavior?
Comment 2 looks like a mis-triage.  I think this bug is asking for feature parity for the Mac impl with the existing views behavior; comment 2 looks as if it understood the request as asking for some kind of views or global behavior change.

I think the bug request is good but we should WontFix on grounds of MacViews obsoleting it soon.

re-triaging.

This was a low-priority issue on Views.  (The old behavior remained for years.)  Let's re-evaluate the status after MacViews launches.
