I'm not sure why this happened but I am no longer able to click and drag to highlight text in Google Chrome.

Using:

Google Chrome Version 41.0.2272.76 (64-bit)

OS:

Linux Kali 3.18.0-kali3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.18.6-1~kali2 (2015-03-02) x86_64 GNU/Linux

The cursor changes from an arrow to the I-cursor and double clicking to highlight works, as well as holding shift & ctrl, but when I click and drag, the text does not highlight.

Can anyone help?
