Steps to reproduce

1. Pres Ctrl+L to begin typing in the address bar.
2. Try to use Ctrl+arrow keys, or Ctrl+Shift+arrow keys to move the cursor or selection edge word-by-word.
3. Observe that the Nautilus instead aggressively highlights the whole address.

I rarely type in whole addresses, but instead make incremental adjustments to my current path. This is a regression from the pre-Ubuntu 18.04 version of Nautilus (I'm using "Files" 3.26.4 here), where the address bar behaved more like any other text entry field.

Current behavior

A-la-Chrome, the whole address bar is highlighted.

Expected behavior

Selecting the whole address bar is maybe fine as a default upon Ctrl+L, but shouldn't be enforced thereafter. Consistency in behavior of widgets (such as this text-entry widget) across the UI is a desirable thing.
