Bug Description
Go to a URL that is long, i.e.:
http://
In the browser window, try to copy the URL string from the location bar. You will not succeed: There is no way to select and copy the full string. Blue markers will erratically appear, but cannot be moved to the beginning and end of the string, because the string does not scroll left or right while blue markers are present.
This is akward and a very poor UX. Actually, it drives me mad.

Confirmed, but this is not specific to the browser: any standard TextField from the UITK is affected. I’m attaching a simple standalone example that can be launched with qmlscene on a device to observe the issue.
