If in the location bar there is the "search in bookmarks and history" gray text, and an about:blank tab is dragged on it, the "about:blank" string is inserted into the text. For example:
"search in bookmaabout:blankrks and history"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new blank tab
2. Click on the white space of the blank page, this displays the "search in bookmarks and history" text in the location bar
3. Drag the about:blank tab into the location bar
Actual Results:  
The text in the location bar continues to be gray, and the "about:blank" string is gone inside it.

Expected Results:  
The text in the location bar should be "about:blank" or something similar, and the color should be black.
