Google Removes http:// from Chrome

I've already been bitten from this change a half-dozen times. Every time I want to share with someone an url I have open in chromium now, I have to manually type "http://.

Hopefully they will eventually fix it so copying from the location bar will include the full url. (Complicated of course by the fact that a user may only copy part of the url, leaving off eg "?foo")

I was under the impression that copying from the location bar was supposed to include the http://. If it doesn't, that is a pretty strange oversight.

It generally does, although there are a few issue with copying partial text out of the bar, e.g:

[news.ycombinator.com]/somejunk

Copying the bracketed portion should include the http:// but some situation were causing it not to be copied, etc.
