For some reason lately Chrome won't let me highlight and cut / copy the text in my location bar. The cursor just locks itself wherever I click it. I CAN highlight and select text anywhere else in Chrome and cut / copy though, just not the URL Bar. I'm using Windows 8 64-Bit. Help!

Chrome won't let me highlight and cut / copy the text in my location bar.
I've had this happen before too and never did solve it, it just fixed itself somehow. I didn't get time to really investigate it at the time but I'm assuming it might've been an extension, but not sure which one. This is just a guess though.
At the time one hacky way I got around it though was one of several ways, one way is to:
Or:
Click your cursor anywhere in the Location Bar, and then press Ctrl + A to "Select All".
Or:
Triple-click your cursor in the Location Bar. This will also Highlight everything.
Either choice you use, you can then cut / copy / paste as usual. Not a "real fix", it's still very annoying, but at least it's something in the meantime.
