I don't think this is the correct usage of the GoogleBug, which is really meant to be a bug in a high profile google web product and not a Chromium issue.
Comment 2 Alexey Proskuryakov 2010-11-03 19:29:26 PDT 
Looks like it works as requested here in Safari now.
Comment 3 Ahmad Saleem 2023-05-13 03:58:45 PDT 
Selection works and it does not seem to have any reduced testcase, where it does not.

Further, it is so old that it might have been fixed by now. Even Chromium bug is now closed.

Marking this as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED".
