I often want to copy some phrase from a post to search it on the web. Long-pressing post text minimizes this post into a single line, which is not very useful IMO, I would rather have text selection cursor like in a web browser.

    The workaround that I’ve been doing is to hit reply on the post/comment that I want to copy text from, and then it’ll allow you to long press to select text from it. Copy out whatever you need, then cancel the reply.

    It would be nice to have a better way of doing this though.

      That doesn’t always work, unfortunately. (Actually, I just tried it now on your post and it doesn’t work for me anymore.)
