      Unable to copy text in 64-bit browsers. It always causes "No response" in the browser, i.e. the so-called freezing of the browser on every attempt.

      Reproduce, very easy.
      Any plain page with a lot of text.

      This is just an example, sizes may vary
      Size: 4 MB (small size!!)
      Characters: 4.500.000
      Words: 800.000

          @leocg I tested on Chrome, Opera, Firefox, MS Edge, Internet Explorer, and Chromium. Anyway, this problem is not new. It has never been possible to copy such 'large' text
          For example, the menu (right button) does not work. CPU usage is 25%.
          I don't know if you tested.
          Create the HTML base code. Place the same amount of text even. And try it yourself and give the answer ...

            @facebookcom Seems more of an OS issue. Did you already try to reinstall Windows?

            Any examples of pages where you can't copy text?

              @leocg Unfortunately, you are trying to burden System but
              I can test on multiple machines and the problem is the same. So it's not a System or computer problem. I repeat the question. Have you tried to copy the text? Please test.

              5000000 character / 800000 word

              HTML file size: 4MB

              alt text

                  Step 1: Creating the HTML file
                  Open up your computer's plain text editor and create a new file.
                  Step 2: Type some HTML code
                  Start with an empty window and type the following code:

                  <!DOCTYPE html>
                  <html lang="en">
                  <head>
                      <title>A simple HTML document</title>
                  </head>
                  <body>
                      <p>Enter a lot of text here<p>
                  </body>
                  </html>
                  

                  Step 3: Saving the file
                  Now save the file on your desktop as "test_page.html ".
                  Step4: To open the file in a browser.
