begin
   FHelpTextSelection:= selected_text;

end;

Hi,

The TChromium.OnTextSelectionChanged event is only available in OSR mode. Browsers in "normal" mode will not get that event.

You also have to consider that all TChromium events are executed in a CEF thread. This means that you have to protect the variables with synchronization objects like critical sections

Remember that VCL is not thread safe and your application shouldn't create, destroy or modify any VCL control inside TChromium's events.

That menu option is added automatically by Chromium when the user can copy something from the document.

what does OSR mean?

It's the "off-screen rendering" mode used by the SimpleOSRBrowser demo. It gives you total control of the browser events and it uses the TChromium.OnPaint event to send raw bitmap data with the web contents. It's much slower but you have total control.
