This is one of those things that unfortunately didn't make it out of Slack. From #search:

> harry: @verdi The new spec removes the focused & collapsed state but there’s one case I’m still curious about. A while ago, you said that we shouldn’t expand if the user selects part of the URL. This was to avoid unnecessary motion for a simple copy action. Should that stay in?
I tested it on a build that has the focused & collapsed state removed and it doesn’t appear to cause the same engineering headaches as the old focused&collapsed behaviour since we just use it in the one case. I’m wondering how you would weigh the usefulness of not expanding for partial selection versus having this focused&collapsed state in only one specific case

> verdi: @harry I like it. It seems unnecessary to expand if we can tell you're really just copying a part of a url.
