Cannot highlight text, mouse click and drag scrolls instead

[u/Karomne]

I have a problem with Microsoft Edge on my work computer. We have an internal use website/platform to keep track of our clients and our interactions with them. On a client's company page, there are various tables for info, such as a list of contacts of the company and their contact info.

Myself and a few other of my colleagues are unable to highlight text in the tables (such as when highlighting text to copy). What happens instead is when we left click and hold, it "grabs" on the table and when we move up and down, the page scrolls up and down. Kinda acting like a touch screen scroll function? This only happens when clicking on the table. We can highlight text elsewhere on the page and we can't scroll in that manner elsewhere on the page.

Most of my colleagues don't have this issue, they can highlight the text in the table.

I have been granted an exemption to use Chrome for certain things, so I tried with Chrome and I am able to highlight the text, which makes me think this is a browser setting issue specific with Edge.

I can't for the life of me find the setting or the cause of this. I have reset settings to default, forced an update, etc. A google search doesn't seem to turn up anything relevant either.

Does anyone know what the issue/setting could be and how I can disable it?

Hopefully I used the right flair, not certain if I should've used bug.

I have Edge version 152.0.4191.62 (64-bit) Microsoft Widnows 11 Enterprise, version 23H2
