Highlight some texts (e.g. by double clicking on a word)
Click and hold on the highlighted texts, start dragging
After dragging any arbitrary distance (could be as short as one pixel) on the same page, release the mouse button, observe browser freezes and not responding to mouse clicks.
Another post suggested “to use an SSL certificate”, and I wonder if he can elaborate.
@mattdm
I see, so “using an SSL certificate” means using https, correct me if I’m wrong. In my browser tho the “Always use secure connections” option is already toggled to On. Whereas the “Manage certificates” section is empty, if it’s normal … ?
To answer your question, I experienced this issue on both http and https sites.
@MrIgareshka
Thanks for the suggestion. Funny thing is the offending domain is chrome://flags, which can’t be added into the #unsafe-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure list (i.e. list entry doesn’t persist after restarting).
By default my browser allows all sites to ask to see my clipboard, and I never added any site to denylist. I tried again here to add the domain into the allowlist, but errored out for invalidity.
Thanks for offering help. I don’t see the PM function (maybe my account is too new?).
And unfortunately the issue is not reproducible at the moment - some of the tweaking on my Linux in the meantime may have worked around it (temporarily), which is a very Linux-y thing…
