[Description Chris Smith 2013-07-31 14:27:02 UTC]

In www-client/google-chrome-30.0.1581.2_alpha1 I cannot highlight and select text on any web page.

Reproducible: Always

There's probably not much I can do about it.

Have you tried with a fresh profile? Just move ~/.config/google-chrome out of the way before running Chrome.

Looks like a fresh profile did the trick. Thanks!

I could not reproduce this problem, but that might mean nothing.
I'd vote to leave this bug open for some time, for others to recognize it without searching "ALL " bugs.

Hmmm... the bug is back! Just took a while to surface again.

Did you maybe install some extension that broke it?

Anyway, as I said, there is likely nothing I can do here. Please report it upstream.
