Thanks for the link. To confirm the point of copying text being broken: try doing that at https://flutterplasma.dev/ -- it kind of works, but not really, no.

Ah fuck me. This is awful. You have to be precisely on the text to select it. I frequently offset my mouse a little to the left of the element to ensure I select the whole text. Even a little bit off to the left and nothing.

I love the idea, but this sounds like it's going to be unpleasant for me. Hopefully they figure out these UX things.

Yeah, tiny differences that would nag the hell out of me. For example double clicking for selecting word is implemented, but triple clicking to select whole line is not implemented ;(

Ew, you can't select across lines of text, even.
