Using select elements frequently can lock up the browser

Reported by james.se...@pearson.com, Jun 30 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.103 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1) Hit the URL: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select in chrome browser canary version.
2) Then start selecting different choices with long tap.
3) Keep doing step no. 2 ( atleast do it for 2 mins)
4) After certain moment, you will start seeing that you can't expand choice drop-down & here browser becomes unresponsive.( Please note that sometime we can see that choice drop-down gets expanded when we tap on it for two or three times. But if you again keep doing step no. 2 , you will see same issue & after some seconds, you will see page becomes unresponsive. Video shared for this too:

What is the expected behavior?
Browser should not lockup

What went wrong?
Browser locks up.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 53  Channel: canary
OS Version: 7
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0

This was easier to reproduce in our app on the chromebook with touch

Chromebook, user agent is Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 8172.47.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.79 Safari/537.36

Video found here:

Skip to 4 mins to see things lock up.
 
I tried following the steps from the video (thanks for the video!) on Win10/Canary and couldn't repro.

Question though - how did you discover this bug in the first place?  I appreciate the attempt at getting a stable repro by selecting different dropdown options for a few minutes, but how did you notice this originally?
Any movement on this issue?
