Problems selecting/copying text on web pages after 4.4.3?

So I received the 4.4.3 update at some point in the past week. Since that time I've encountered at least a few times in which I can't fully copy text on web pages.

(I'm not referring to web pages that use javascript or some other means to prevent copying of text.)

For example, I was on the nyt.com site (not app) earlier and reading an article. When I did a long press it selected a word but then I couldn't move the pointers to select the sentences/paragraph I wanted. I rebooted the N5, re-opened Chrome and that page, and then was able to fully select the text I wanted.

A similar thing happened a few days ago and a re-boot also cleared the problem.

Has anyone else encountered an occasional oddness when attempting to select text on web pages in Chrome after 4.4.3? (Maybe it's a problem with current Chrome?)
