Description

Image

I'm trying to select the text 'source...' my cursor is on the text, but the visible line is selected, so nothing is copied because there is nothing there.

I am on multipass for windows, if this could be useful.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the text-selection problem in Multipass on Windows and capture which interface displays the instance output. Then locate the text-selection handling for that interface, identify why the visible line is selected instead of the text, and verify that selecting and copying the reported text works.
