Using latest Nightly, Windows 10 x86.

STR:
Open any URL (long enough that it'll overflow the address bar) from the URL bar dropdown by middle-clicking it)

AR:
The host name will have the fading effect on it.

ER:
The fading effect should be applied on the last visible characters of the URL.

See attached screencast.

Apparently the problem is that we set the selection only on "current", I just restored the old code, but the "current" check doesn't seem to be necessary...
