Unable to Highlight and Copy SELECTED Text from Copilot Chat Responses

Jake Kretzschmar
Issue Summary:
In the Copilot chat section, I am unable to reliably select, highlight, and copy text from completed AI responses. After a response finishes generating, attempting to highlight specific text causes the selection to change, disappear, or move to a different area before I can copy it.
Expected Behavior:
Once the AI response is complete, I should be able to select specific text within the response, then right-click and choose copy or press Ctrl+C to copy the selected text.
Actual Behavior:
When I try to highlight text in the completed response, something appears to be happening dynamically on the page that interrupts the selection. The highlighted text is either canceled, changed, or replaced with a different selection area. As a result, I cannot reliably reach the copy function or copy the intended text.
Duration:
This issue has been occurring for at least two weeks.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open the Copilot chat section.
Submit a prompt and wait for the AI response to fully complete.
Attempt to highlight a specific portion of text in the completed response.
Try to right-click or press Ctrl+C to copy the selected text.
The selected text changes, disappears, or becomes unusable before it can be copied.
Impact:
This prevents me from copying specific portions of Copilot responses, which significantly affects usability. I need to be able to copy selected text from responses for normal workflow use.
