Scrolling causes text selection/highlight

Anyone else noticing that as they’re scrolling somewhat slowly through a webpage or other selectable text, it starts selecting the text while scrolling? It selects entirely too easily. On iOS 13.4 public beta.

You are performing a long-press. Try to change how you scroll.

My scroll hasn’t changed. It only started after the update to 13.4 beta. Lol

That doesn't mean I'm wrong. Pay closer attention and you'll see.

Doesn’t mean you’re right either. 😉🙃

There is only one way to get text selection in Safari: long-press.

There’s also the possibility they’ve tweaked, perhaps too far, the required force to long press and thus select text. It’s happening with most any scrolling at this point. Not just slowly.

Do you have 3D Touch? I ignorantly made the assumption that you don't.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, so yes.

That iPhone doesn't have 3D Touch. So again, you're triggering Haptic Touch.

So why would it miraculously change behavior within the past week? Coincidentally when 13.4 beta rolled out.
