Chrome Version       : 69.0.3497.95
OS Version: 10895.56.0
URLs (if applicable) : Google News Android app (5.4.0; issue observed in prior versions as well)
Other browsers tested: N/A

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Google News app and click on a headline to display an article, so that the article body appears in the app window
2. Position the mouse cursor over the article body
3. Use two fingers on the trackpad to begin scrolling the article
4. Scroll so that the mouse cursor is over a word in the article, and release your two fingers
5. Use one finger on the trackpad to move the mouse cursor away from the word
6. Release your finger 

What is the expected result?
The mouse cursor stops moving at its new position, and nothing else


What happens instead of that?
The mouse cursor stops at its new position, and after releasing your finger in step 6, the word from step 4 becomes selected for copying, as if the user had double-tapped on the trackpad with the cursor over the word


Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
Tested on eve in laptop mode. In my testing, following the precise steps above produces the problem 100% of the time.
