In the macOS desktop app, native text selection can include content outside the user's intended scope:
- In split view, dragging from channel content into a thread selects both channel and thread content.
- Dragging across a message can select hover quick-reaction emojis and inline reaction pills.
- Popup/overlay content can also participate in selection.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a channel with a threaded message.
- Open the thread in split view.
- Drag-select from a channel message into a thread reply.
- Hover a message and drag-select across its action area.
- Repeat on a message with reaction pills.
Expected behavior
- Channel selection remains inside the channel.
- Thread selection remains inside the thread.
- Message text remains copyable.
- Hover action bars, quick reactions, reaction pills, emoji pickers, reaction popovers, and other interactive overlays are excluded.
- Timestamps and ordinary message metadata may remain selectable.
