This also happens on Linkedin. Adding a ni to create a core issue / KB bug.

This is a terribly annoying problem on LinkedIn. When I open the Reactions pop-up on a post and close it by clicking outside the pop-up (so NOT using the "X" button), text gets randomly selected.

Would be great if this can be investigated and solved!
