Is there a setting to disable selecting the stuff in the omnibox when switching tabs

So when I have a new tab open, type something in the omnibox, and then switch a tab and go back to that previous new tab page, it selects everything that's in the omnibox. See attached gif.

I'd rather have it just stay at the rightmost position instead of selecting everything so that I can keep typing instead of having to press the right arrow key again. Is there a setting to change this functionality?
