I am on record ( http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-reviews/browse_thread/thread/878579dd61c53a00/213560d76d537337 ) as saying "It would be better to just not select the text at all (a la Firefox) than to appear to select the text but not update the X primary selection. If the current behavior becomes intolerable, that is the route I'd go." "Intolerable" is more than just "not how the native controls normally work" -- it's "dramatically interferes with user behavior". That may well be true on Linux. In that thread, though, we discussed a lot of other alternate methods of pasting in a URL, such as paste-and-go, middle-clicking blank sections of the tabstrip, etc. I'd want some Linux UI folks to be able to say concretely, "we've lived with this for several weeks, and it's clearly not enough; we need to change."
