This seems to work OK. You mentioned moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen to scroll - I don't know if that's literally what you meant, but the mouse has to be positioned just outside of the window's bounds for autoscroll to kick in.
Unable to reproduce the issue on windows 7, Mac 10.11.3 using chrome version 49.0.2623.112 and canary 52.0.2706.0.Able to click the text and scroll without any issues.
Please find the attached screen shot for the same.

 matt@ Could you please try the issue on latest version if the issue still persists please provide the sample URL to reproduce the issue from our end.

Thanks,

No, I still can't scroll the page down while making a selection. This only affects Canary for me (now on 52.0.2705.0 canary (64-bit)), normal Chrome (49.0.2623.112 (64-bit) is fine .

As per your screencast, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page is an example of a page where this affects me

Whoah! This only happens when the browser is opened on my external monitor (which Canary always is). It happens on both an Apple Thunderbolt display and my Acer CB280HK.

Interestingly, Safari also exhibits the same behavior, but Firefox does not.

More findings!

It only happens if the bottom of the browser window is touching the bottom of screen. I always have my windows full-height, which is why it doesn't work. If I resize the window so the bottom is a fraction above the bottom of the screen, dragging and scrolling works.

Chrome was "working" because I use uBar (a Windows-style task bar Dock replacement) on my laptop screen, so no windows could ever touch the bottom of the screen.

Also interesting, Firefox "worked" because I had the status bar on - when I disabled that, the bottom of the browser was now touching the bottom of the window, so I couldn't scroll.

So it seems that it's OS X that's broken!
