new address bar double click behavior

Make double click select the whole address in toolbar entry (Marco)

This is a step backwards. In a consistent user environment, double click selects only a word, not a whole line. The previous behavior was not only more consistent, but also quite useful for changing hostname or directory components of the URI.

What I would suggest instead is that users are encouraged to use triple click to select the whole line (which is consistent with other programs), or Control+U to delete the line, however this keybinding also seems to have stopped working. :-(
