Description
As you can see in the GIF below, I sent someone an image and included some caption text. I then try to select that text (to copy & paste and also send to someone else, but who cares why), but Keybase doesn't let me. I try in two different places – when the image is maximized, and when its inline – and neither spot allows me to select the caption text.

This is very annoying, but probably super easy to fix.
I observed this behavior in the macOS desktop client.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the macOS desktop client using the GIF's two cases: an inline image and a maximized image with caption text. Trace the image-caption UI entry point and verify that the caption can be selected, copied, pasted, and sent from both views.
