Visual Studio Code - Dragging to highlight text moves way too fast at edges

Question

is there a way to adjust the speed at which the code scrolls when highlighting using the cursor? If I need to highlight more code than I see in the normal view I will usually use my mouse to highlight from the top and move it down to the bottom.

In other text editors the code will scroll up and the highlighting continue at a reasonable pace.

In VS Code if you do this it will speed up incredibly fast, leading me to many times reach the end of the code. This is in the matter of pixels. Is there any way to adjust this speed?
