      Current version:: 85.0.4341.28 - Used to be in previous versions when you arrived at a web site, if you clicked in the address bar, the entire address would be selected so you could copy it. Now when I click in the address bar, only a few characters are selected, such that if you want to copy the entire line, you would have to cntrl-a, or select it with your cursor. In the current Chrome, the clicking in address bar selects the entire address.

      Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug here, or maybe there is something I need to choose in Opera's Flag Options.

      Any help appreciated. Thanks

      How it happens now::

        I now realize if you click in the address bar outside (past the end of the address) it will select the entire line. However, if the address completely fills up the address bar, clicking inside of it, will select the entire line.

          I have the same problem, but I don't understand your solution.

            It's really not solution per se, just a workaround, but clunky. If the address you want to copy fits within the address bar, if you click in the white area past the entire address, the whole address will highlight. If the address spans past the entire address bar, you will have to click once in the address, and do a cntrl-a, which will highlight the entire address.

            I sure hope they fix this.
