STS word highlight not completely covering URLs

Project Member Reported by leberly@chromium.org, Apr 14 2018

Issue description

Chrome OS with flag enabled: #enable-experimental-accessibility-features
67.0.3383.0 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)
Google_Samus.6300.276.0

# Enable STS
# Navigate to a page that renders a URL. One example is chrome://downloads/ with some downloads listed, another is https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_urlencode.asp, another is this bug itself
# Use search + drag mouse around the URL text
Expected: word highlight lines up with characters being read or covers entire link; perhaps no highlight at all 
Actual: just the first part of the link is highlighted


A few counter points: 
"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is entirely highlighted so it's not a length issue. 

Also, nothing is highlighted while reading a URL in the Omnibar which might be works as expected.

I think this is a dupe of crbug.com/815378, which notes that word highlighting can be incorrect in URLs.
