One of my pet peeves against chrome's URL is how it breaks copy paste.
Sometimes you just want to copy the domain portion of the URL, without the hidden parts (scheme, subdomain).. You think what you select is what you copy? Wrong, Chrome is "smarter" than you and you end up pasting the entire URL, that you did not even see!
Their design meant they had no choice but to break one use case or the other. Either you'd copy an incomplete, invalid URL meant for display purposes, or one containing chars you did not select. Bad UX either way..
