Thanks for the report. Seeing the same behaviour with latest SDK versions on Web (iOS). Tested on Safari.
Chrome on android appears to work fine.

This is likely a browser context menu + flutter context menu showing up.
We've always had the flutter context menu disabled on web, but I think that was done in an era where all text selection was handled in
EditableText:flutter/packages/flutter/lib/src/widgets/editable_text.dart
Lines 4960 to 4962 in 7ceee3b
Now we have more places that show a toolbar. Some of them skip toolbar on the web, e.g:
flutter/packages/flutter/lib/src/widgets/selectable_region.dart
Lines 1360 to 1362 in 7ceee3b
But some of them don't:
flutter/packages/flutter/lib/src/widgets/selectable_region.dart
Line 1128 in 40f013a
I haven't confirmed that this is the callsite that's causing the bug, but looking at the video I see the flutter toolbar shows up when handle drag is complete. So I strongly suspect this is culprit.
Is there a better way to solve this once and for all? cc @loic-sharma @Renzo-Olivares
