I an having issues regarding scrolling up and down keys in brave. It works fine on other apps/browsers on my desktop.
I am using brave version 1.74.48.
The up and down keys working fine on some website or like if open email window it scrolls perfectly but using anything except that like brave search or You tube etc. its just highlights any random text.
Has your issue been ongoing, or did it occur after a recent Brave Browser version update?
And I wonder if your, in general terms, User Interface > Selection issue (“highlights any random text”) is related to:
Having a problem with right click in the latest version! - #9 by 289wk

Another:
The issue has happened for a long time, I can’t tell the brave version when I first noticed it.
It does not seem to me related to the right-click issue you mentioned.
Something more I can think of… I can’t really tell what triggers the issue, but sometimes it seems to happen when I type something in the URL bar, then use the down arrow and enter to pick one of the suggestions from brave.
No, I did not update the browser. It just started suddenly and it is not solved yet. I tried reinstalling the browser but the problem persists.
And no it is not related to the right click issue or for any other keyboard number.
