If you're seeing this behavior (unselectable text) in multiple browsers, it's possible that this is intentional on the part of the web page author. The user-select property allows pages to make text unselectable and this is enforced by the browser.

Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
Unable to reproduce the issue on Windows 10 and Mac OS 10.13.3. on the latest Stable 66.0.3359.181.
And as there is no response/Feedback from the reporter for a long time, closing this issue and marking it as Won't fix.

@Reporter: Please feel to raise a new issue if there are any issues with chrome.

Thanks...
