Description
When running Ice Cubes on a Mac, the text of posts is not selectable. It would be nice to be able to select some text in a post with the mouse to be able to copy it to the clipboard. A workaround is to take a screenshot, open it in preview, then use the built-in OCR to select the text.
This is with Ice Cubes Version 1.10.35 (2569).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on macOS using Ice Cubes Version 1.10.35 (2569), then inspect how post text is rendered in the SwiftUI app. Done means text in a post can be selected with the mouse and copied to the clipboard without using the screenshot/OCR workaround.
