ubuntu - Why my Chrome freezes when I try to paste long texts?

Every time I try to paste a long text that I copied from some applications (like Vim or using xsel) my Google Chrome freezes, after some time it responds again but the text is not pasted.


Around 60 lines is enough to make it hang. If I paste the text first in Text Editor and copy it from there, the paste in Chrome happens with no problem.


With short texts I have no problems.


This is happening on Ubuntu 18.04 and Google Chrome 75.0.3770


Using xsel I tried with the primary and the clipboard selection and neither of those works. What selection is Text Editor using then? Why does it work when copied from there?
