Chrome Windows bug - sadly no issue number
Browser unresponsive when large amount of text is inside text input field.
1. Visit this page: data:text/html,<!doctype html><html style="min-height: 300vh"><input autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" spellcheck="false" type="text"></input>
2. Paste a large amount of text (between 10k and 100k characters, depending on your machine) into the text input.
3. Try repositioning the cursor, or scrolling
=> You'll experience serious lag, whereas Chrome on Mac OS, as well as other browsers, are just fine.
