Safari 14.0.1 Reoccurring "This webpage was reloaded because…" error.

Ok, this issue has been bothering me since I updated Safari to Version 14. 


Every time I select lines of text on any webpage and click on the small gray box with a downward arrow (as shown in the attached screenshot), the page just reload with the error message "This webpage was reloaded because an error occurred". 


It is really annoying because I always accidentally click on that ****** small gray box and cause the page to reload.


Does this happen because of some Safari extensions? I am running Safari 14.0.1 on a 2016 MBP w/ TB with Big Sur 11.0.1 installed.


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0

I have the exact same problem, even with Safari 14.0.2 (16610.3.7.1.9).


Interesting thing that I cannot trigger this arrow on my work MacBook Pro (same Safari version). I'd be happy if I could disable it, but I don't know how. Others are also wondering: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252192557.


Inspecting the Console, the official name of this feature the arrow is triggering seems to be 'Context Menu', but this knowledge isn't helping me to more relevant search results.


This is the crash in Console:

fault timestamp Safari Received an invalid message 'WebPageProxy_ShowContextMenu' from the WebContent process.


Tried cache reset, disabling extensions, JavaScript, everything else in Develop menu, reseting Safari with Clean My Mac, actually reinstalling Big Sur with a clean install, removing cookies, etc. The only thing I haven't done is removing the history hoping there is another way to fix this.


Any idea is greatly appreciated.
