I think I started it in DOS as a way to scroll text. Highlighting/selecting text and moving the mouse to the very bottom started scrolling

I randomly highlight. It definitely didn't start as a way to scroll text; I have never been aware of the behavior you describe. It's just something you can do.

I like to find places where the beginning and end of the highlight align vertically.
