Long pressing an item on Android Chrome shows the context menu for a bit but then shows up an unwanted drag-and-drop item

Question

For example, when I long press an item, it shows the context menu but then the context menu gets closed a tiny bit after and summons a drag-and-drop box (containing the URL and the name of the page if it's a link, if it's an image it then just shows the floating image). It shows the item like I'm dragging it, but I am actually not. When the floating item is present, it doesn't let me touch any other links or anything on screen. If I let go my finger quick enough, it stays still for some seconds and then it just disappears with a very slight movement to the bottom. I just have to wait for it to disappear to finally touch anything else. If I drag it for a bit and then I let go my finger, it disappears normally.

It's annoying because I have to let go my finger quick enough to actually be able to tap the context menu.

It's even more annoying because I can't do a single thing with the floating link, not even move it from tab to tab, just drag it pointlessly through the screen.

Also, it overlays all displays on-screen, even the "Shutting down" screen, and sometimes it gets completely stuck on screen, that means I can tap everything else when it's ghost overlay is present, and even be able to see 2 of these floating things on screen (the second one being a non-ghost box), but the only way to get rid of that ghost overlay is by resetting the device. Also, the ghost overlay can even appear on the lock screen.

Note: This is not made by me in any way, as I don't have any programming knowledge. This is just a really annoying thing that I found lately that I want you to help me with.

I don't even know if it was whether a WebView update bug, a malware, a screen bug or anything so I don't know. Please help me. This was the closest source of help to resort to.
