• Go to any website with a long content, like theverge.com

Hi,
I tested with the latest nightly 69.0a1 on Surface Pro4 wi Win10 but I couldn't reproduce.
Setting up component Core Selection, so developers can take a look over it. If isn't the correct component , feel free to change it to an appropiate one.
This issue is duplicate of the bug 1422994.

Hi Raluca,
this bug refers to Linux/Ubuntu, i remember it working on windows. So yes, this is definitely a duplicate.
