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

 

Turns out this problem is specific to using "Apps - Google Docs" so I am
not sure if the bug lies in chromium, or the app

Title:
  keyboard stops working after using shift + arrow key to highlight long
  string of text.

Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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

  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.
