Text in address bar gets highlighted when switching languages

When I switch languages in the address bar, the text gets highlighted automatically, so when I continue typing it deletes what was previously there. I'm using Linux (Solus Budgie), and it didn't use to behave like that when I used Windows. But even though it changed when I switched to Linux, I don't think it is related directly to the OS, but rather the default flag settings or something like that. I suspect that, because I also needed to change some other settings such as restoring the middle-wheel scrolling functionality and making the address bar auto-highlight text when I first click the address bar (rather than double-clicking it).

This one's really annoying. I can't get used to it, so I keep messing up my searches. Is there a way to change this behaviour? Something in "about:config" for example?

Thanks

What shortcut key or other way are you using to switch the language?

There are browser.urlbar.*select prefs that you can check on the about:config page.

I'm using Alt+Shift. Which setting are you refering to? When I search for browser.urlbar.*select I get only the two that are responsible for a) auto-highlighting when first clicked ("...clickSelectAll"); and b) highlighting when double-clicking ("...doubleClickSelectAll"). The former is set to "true" and the latter to "false".
