No way to mark (select) text on certain web pages (Chrome "Edit" menu has copy/cut/paste but it missing "Select")

Reported by cryptoph...@gmail.com, Jun 16 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Load dropbox webpage
2. Attempt to mark the name of a file in order to copy name
3. No way to do this...

What is the expected behavior?
Some way to highlight (mark) the text - e.g. - right-click to show a "mark" or "select" option, or the chrome edit menu to carry such an option

What went wrong?
No control exists to select the text on the page

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 58.0.3029.110  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: 

Additionally - any time when "selecting" has been deliberately disabled for whatever reason, Chrome needs to make this clear, so users understand to stop looking for a way to do something that is disabled and hidden. This does not appear to be the case in this instance though.
