This is posted as an aid to reduce frustration ('ll delete this when the fix is in).
There is current a bug in chrome/kde/qt? that gets triggered when using wayland and copying text in brave. https://community.brave.com/t/brave-crashes-while-selecting-or-dragging-page-element-on-fedora-kde/545980
It looks like chromium bug: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/336449364
which is caused by a kde (or qt) bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482142
in any case, the chromium devs agree it should not stop responding to mouse clicks and have produced a test fix: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/876fbd5552c8fb9d4889ba0371e4d7e3bfa9af84^!/
Hopefully the fix will get merged by brave, chromium and/or kde/qt fix the missing events soon. Cause its a real PITA.

@ant0n et all, lets keep the comments here about packaging issues, general Brave usage issues should go in another forum to not clutter up this comment space. I'm deleting comments that have no relation to packaging. Grey areas like crashes that could be blamed on Arch can stay until proven otherwise, but things like how to configure Brave to handle popups or site X or whatever just don't belong here. Thanks for understanding.
