Thanks for the report.

Testing team - this sounds similar to  bug 881806 , which is on Mac and reported fixed by Chrome 71.  It would be nice to know when this broke on Windows (blamelist) and if and when it was fixed (blamelist) to decide if we can/should merge the fix into release branches of Chrome.

Hey mpearson@: In https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=881806#c7 I mentioned the range that fixed the  bug 881806 .

Unable to reproduce the issue on Win-10 using chrome reported version #69.0.3497.81.
Attached a screen cast for reference.

Following are the steps followed to reproduce the issue.
------------
1. Navigated to https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/9dg7og/how_to_make_it_select_url_when_i_left_click_on/
2. Clicked on address bar's white/empty part.
3. It did not de-select address after a blink.
4. Also tested by typing reddit.com and clicked address bar and typed "google.com". Observed that address did not change to "https://reddit.com/google.com".

axzxc1236@ - Could you please check the attached screen cast and please let us know if anything missed from our end.

I looked the video and can confirm you did try to reproduce the bug and the bug didn't happen, I was not able to reproduce this bug on my Desktop PC too...

Today I also found that if I use touch screen feature of my laptop, the bug won't happen.

I tried to disable my Antivirus, and it didn't help.

I just plugged in my USB mouse which I use with my Desktop PC to the laptop, and I can reproduce the bug with my USB mouse.

I can reproduce this bug in guest mode on my laptop, so it's not extension messing with me.

Thank you for providing more feedback. Adding the requester to the cc list.

Hence, removing Needs-TestConfirmation as the issue is not reproducible from TE-end and requesting someone from UI>Browser>Omnibox team to please have a look into the issue.

Thanks...!!

Also unable to repro on Chrome 68* or 71, and agree the behavior looks like it's a double-click.

*will upgrade and try M69 and return to this.

I'm unable to repro on 69.0.3497.92, Win10, USB (via bluetooth) trackball or USB mouse.

axzxc1236@, anything special about your mouse? Is it a generic mouse or a productivity/gaming mouse with special drivers or utility software?

Thanks!

Thanks for the screenshot on reddit:

I notice windows gets the busy cursor (used to be an hourglass, on win10 it's the blue circle thing) when the second "pseudo-click" happens. Maybe a red herring though.

I also tried to repro with the currently disabled URL experiments on - no repro there either unfortunately :(

@axzcx1236 - please see questions in the previous update (#11), and thanks again for the report!

It's a normal USB mouse, from ASUS U2000 Keyboard Mouse Set.

Hi axzxc1236, 

Sorry to request feedback from you again; if it's easy to install Chrome Canary (it's a separate program that installs side-by-side) and see if it reproduces? Then we can narrow down if there's a fix we could merge (or just wait for), or if this is live. It's odd that it does seem like a hardware issue but does repro only in the omnibox?

Thank you!

Sorry this report is few days late.
I just installed Google Chrome Canary, and the issue is gone, signed in Google account and synced themes, extension, bookmarks...etc, and I can't reproduce the issue on Google Chrome Canary. (stills happens in Google Chrome)

Back to Untriaged.  (I'm not sure what it was changed before.)

tommycli: any theories as to what might be happening here?

Today I updated Google Chrome to 70.0.3538.67 and the problem is solved.
I don't know where I can close this ticket.
