[Bug 1392942] [NEW] keyboard stops working after using shift + arrow key to highlight long string of text.

 

Public bug reported:

Release: Ubuntu 14.10

Package Version:
Installed: 38.0.2125.111-0ubuntu0.14.10.1.1103
  Candidate: 38.0.2125.111-0ubuntu0.14.10.1.1103
  Version table:
 *** 38.0.2125.111-0ubuntu0.14.10.1.1103 0

     37.0.2062.94-0ubuntu1~pkg1065 0

Expectation: I expected to be able to copy a long string of text by
first highlighting it using shift + right arrow key.

Actual Result:  After about 50 or so characters the keyboard stops
working. This also includes outside of chromium-browser. Once the
browser is closed, the keyboard starts to work again right away.

Side note: Tried multiple times on different pages with the same result.
Also does the same thing using google-chrome-stable.
