This is, I think, intentional. The location bar is too short to expect
people to stay within it completely when dragging to select text. For
gross gestures like "delete everything after this", it's easy to drag
the mouse to the edge. There should be a fine gesture too, where it's
easy to select like "ubunu/+source/" in this page's URL, to delete it.
I am not completely certain, though. Convince upstream (Freenode
#chromium), and I'll prepare them a patch so everyone gets the result. I
don't want to carry a patch that makes Ubuntu different than everyone
else.
The next step is either Confirmed or Invalid, once upstream has rendered
an opinion.
