Safari on iPad doesn‘t always support auto-scrolling when dragging the selection handles to the bottom screen edge, for example on this page.
It seems like the same question was already asked here, but the only answer sounds like a predefined, generic one suggesting the usual restarting of the app and device.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 15
Hey Nickkk_,
You can clear website data occasionally to improve Safari performance.
1. Go to Settings > Safari.
2. Tap Clear History and Website Data.
3. Tap Clear History and Data to confirm.

Take care.
Hi Nickkk_,
Thanks for confirming that. Since the issue remains, we suggest that you reach out to Apple Support directly.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Hello Nickkk_,
This may be a function of the web page coding rather than Safari itself.
Perhaps reaching out to the web developer would result is some assistance.
Cheers.
Hey Nickkk_,
To help isolate the issue, we suggest testing a different web browser.
Take care.
What kind of function on the web page are you talking about? I would have assumed that since I can scroll the page normally, it would just auto-scroll when selecting text. It looks like a very basic HTML page to me, without any "function" that should limit the auto-scroll feature.
That doesn't work.
Another browser scrolls as expected.
