The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Cocoa' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Are you doing anything particular, such as selecting text and using macOS services or anything similar? Or are you using any kind of accessibility utilities, either built-in from Apple or a third-party?
