Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Navigate to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list
2. Mouse left-drag to highlight any text (e.g. "1 - 100")
3. In another terminal, run [xsel -p] to dump the PRIMARY X11 selection
What is the expected behavior?
xsel prints the highlighted string.
What went wrong?
xsel prints whatever PRIMARY held before the mouse-highlight event.
Did this work before? Yes 52 stable
Chrome version: 54.0.2816.0 Channel: beta
OS Version: goobuntu 14.04
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0
Ctrl-C still correctly copies to CLIPBOARD and also populates PRIMARY.
Highlighting text using the keyboard in an input textbox (e.g. using shift-arrows) still correctly populates PRIMARY.
Selecting all text on a page with Ctrl-A does NOT populate PRIMARY.
