I need copy some text from the TUI output as well.
I wonder if developers need some more info about the terminal programs people are seeing this with?
I am seeing this with
iTerm2.I've discovered a partial workaround: right-clicking will select the chunk of text at the click point and then pop a context menu. You can ignore the context menu and use the text selection to copy the chunk.
@bentito are you still experiencing the issue on latest?
No it's fine and intuitive again thanks!
