URL input auto-selects all text when regaining focus after window minimization

When working in Yaak REST client, there is an annoying behavior with the URL input field. If I have my cursor positioned in the URL input (where you enter addresses like http://example.com/api/xxx) and then minimize the window, upon reopening or maximizing the window, the application automatically selects the entire URL text.

This behavior is problematic because:

  1. If I'm switching between windows to copy just a portion of a URL from another source

  2. If I accidentally press any key after the window regains focus, it immediately deletes the entire URL

  3. It disrupts my workflow when I need to make small edits to existing URLs

This forces me to be extra careful when switching between windows, as one accidental keystroke can erase my entire URL. It would be better if the input field maintained the cursor position or text selection state as it was before minimization.

I really appreciate the work you’re doing with Yaak, thanks for looking into this issue.
