Title:
  Chrome/Chromium/Firefox doesn't auto scroll when selecting content
  downwards

Status in Chromium Browser:
  Unknown
Status in Mozilla Firefox:

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When trying to select a long text, that goes downwards in the screen, it 
won't auto scroll.
  Seen's the same thing as 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/744580 but I don't think 
it is a problem in the browsers, since it affect all of them. My guess is that 
it's a Gnome bug that won't allow the mouse going out of the text area. I don't 
know if it's relative, but in programs that have a bar in the bottom, it start 
scrolling right after the pointer touch it. So my guess is that Gnome isn't 
allowing the pointer to go a bit deeper out of screen's edge, which is common 
in Windows for example. Maybe because of the pressure thing that brings the 
messages bar up. I didn't had this problem with Unity for example. If the 
screen is unmaximized, then it works normally.
