Brave Crashes While Selecting or Dragging Page Element on Fedora KDE

Description of the issue: While selecting or sometimes dragging a selectable page element (text, a link, or an image, for instance), Brave will occasionally crash without warning and will not respond until it is force closed. Restarting it allows one to click the button to restore their session as normal after a crash.

It’s getting so much frustrating to use brave.

Sometimes it will crash but sometimes it will keep running but reject all mouse inputs.

Yes that happens most of the time, only thing you can do is scroll the webpage and nothing else.

Happening on Arch too. I find I can trigger this easily by selecting some text, then try to move it. The cursor change to a little hand and the only thing brave will repond is scrolling. You can quit by clicking the window’s close icon and using enter to confirm the dialog (clicking does not work…). This started with the 1.65.x series (and maybe eariler in the late 1.64.x series). I am using kde and wayland using Arch’s stable repos, fully up to date.

looking into this. It looks like chromium bug:
https://issues.chromium.org/issues/336449364
which is caused by a kde (or qt) bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482142
in any case, the chromium devs agree it should not stop responding to mouse clicks and have produced a test fix:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/876fbd5552c8fb9d4889ba0371e4d7e3bfa9af84^!/
but have not merged it yet. It would be VERY nice to see this in brave asap.
TIA

Any update on when the devs are going to merge the fix?
