New issue 7595 by andreasblixt: Double-clicking in address bar appears to  
select word+non-word char; writing keeps non-word char
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7595

Chrome Version       : 2.0.160.0
URLs (if applicable) : *

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Double-click a string of alphanumeric characters in the address bar that
is followed by a non-alphanumeric character.
2. Note that the whole string of alphanumeric characters was selected,
along with the non-alphanumeric character.
3. Type something.
4. Note that the non-alphanumeric character was not replaced, even though
it was selected.

What is the expected result?
Only the alphanumeric characters should be selected, to avoid implying that
the non-alphanumeric character will also be replaced when typing.

What happens instead?
The non-alphanumeric character is kept, despite being selected.

This appears to be some kind of special behavior for typing, as
copying/cutting/deleting/pasting includes the non-alphanumeric character. I
personally find the behavior misleading and keep adding the character I
thought would disappear when typing.
