Expectation: I expected to be able to copy a long string of text by first highlighting it using shift + right arrow key.

Actual Result: After about 50 or so characters the keyboard stops working. This also includes outside of chromium-browser. Once the browser is closed, the keyboard starts to work again right away.

Side note: Tried multiple times on different pages with the same result. Also does the same thing using google-chrome-stable.

Turns out this problem is specific to using "Apps - Google Docs" so I am not sure if the bug lies in chromium, or the app

Geoffrey,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Chromium since that time.

Can this bug report now be closed or do you still see a problem related to that which you reported?

If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
