This happens in MacRumors, Disqus, and many other sites' text fields. It doesn't happen in all websites, or even in all text fields in the sites it happens in. But it happens in many.
The problem is, when trying to highlight text, using either trackpad or mouse, the screen immediately jumps down to the bottom or the top of the page, depending which site it is.
In Disqus, it jumps to the top. In MacRumors, it jumps to the bottom:
It is very irritating. I don't remember if this had happened in Mavericks, but it has been a pervasive problem in both Yosemite and El Cap. The only way to highlight text in sites this happens in, is to select a start point in the text field then use Shift-Arrow keys to highlight.
