Thanks for filing the issue! Able to reproduce the issue on reported chrome version 66.0.3359.117 and on the latest canary 68.0.3404.0 using Windows 10 and Ubuntu 14.04 Note: The issue is not seen on Mac 10.13.1 As the issue is seen from M60(60.0.3112.0) considering it as Non-Regression and marking it as Untriaged, hence removing Needs-Bisect label.

pkasting: can you confirm that the described behavior is what used to happen? I had the same thought as the reporter recently but thought that maybe I had misremembered that esc used to do this. tommycli: is it possible that the elision work changed this behavior?

I don't recall us doing this before (that is, having esc blur the omnibox). Esc will progressively revert, and after that it will stop any underlying page load, but I don't think it ever canceled focus? I don't remember for sure, though, I could be wrong. And the reporter is on Linux which is a giant question mark. Only way to tell would be to grab some old builds and test.

Yes, pkasting, you're right that we've never had this. I've always wanted this behavior so I think I started imagining it was once there. bileschi: there's actually an existing feature request for this behavior. I'm going to merge this in that one.

Hrm. This is the way it works on macOS, and I'm pretty sure it worked this way on my workstation. Perhaps just by fluke. Thanks for adding me to the merged bug. Not being able to exit the address bar via keyboard is a usability issue for me.

"Not being able to exit the address bar via keyboard is a usability issue for me." If the address bar dropdown list is closed, I think pressing tab will remove focus from the address page and then get you into the content window. (It might take pressing it more than once; I don't recall if Linux has you tab through Chrome menu items first.)
