Chrome hangs when right clicking on a few lines of highlighted text

I have an unusual problem. Whenever I right click to try and copy a larger amount of text in a textbox in Chrome, the system will freeze up for 5-10 minutes.

I first discovered it when using Tampermonkey and its code editor, but discovered it happens on any rich-text editor. And, if there is enough text, it even happens on regular text boxes. (It just takes more text for it to happen).

I tried a new profile, a new install of Chromium, and nothing worked. I even tried turning off spellcheck, in case that was the issue. So you’d think it would be a bug in Chrome.

What’s bizarre about this is that, when I try the same thing on another computer, it works just fine. A much slower computer can handle it fine.

What can I do to fix the problem?
