".m." label in middle of domain is stripped

Reported by adam.eij...@digital.gov.au, Sep 7

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.81 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Attempt to visit: https://concourse.m.example.com

What is the expected behavior?
Host is shown as "concourse.m.example.com"

What went wrong?
Host is shown as "concourse.example.com"

Did this work before? Yes 68

Chrome version: 69.0.3497.81  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

We use letters of the alphabet to represent a number of different environments.

Domain names for components in each environment are <application>.<environment>.<our domain>, e.g. concourse.m.example.com

Our "m" environment appears to be special cased in the latest Chrome (69), and is omitted.

I'm led to believe that Chrome is trying to omit "trivial" prefixes, such as "www." and "m.", and without commenting on the merits of that change - this bug is not about omitting a prefix, but omitting a label from the middle of the domain name, which seems totally unexpected and surprising.

Unable to reproduce the issue on reported chrome version 69.0.3497.81 using Windows 10. 
Steps:
---------
1. Launched reported chrome
2. Navigated to given URL " https://concourse.m.example.com "
As we are observed that Host is shown as "concourse.m.example.com" 
 
@Reporter: Can you verify this issue with fresh profile that is not having any extensions and apps or reset all the flags. Let us know whether issue still persists.

Thanks.!

TE@, there's something wrong in your browser: it shows https:// but Chrome 69 should hide it. Are you using a clean new user data directory?

Reporter@, you can disable it in chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state-url-scheme-and-subdomains
I've attached a screenshot showing the full hostname (in the window title) vs the one with the missing label in the middle (in the URL bar).

(I realise the site itself won't load, but even with the DNS failing there's enough to trigger to omission of the label in the middle)

Thanks for the report. This is tracked in  issue 881410 .
881410 seems to be a complaint about www and m being hidden at all (even at the front of the domain). Personally I think it makes sense to track specific bugs related to that feature separately from complaints about the feature itself.
Also, 881410 has itself been closed but I can't seem to read the bug into which it's meant to have been merged.
