Currently, looking-tap behavior hides the comment. This should enable text selection instead.
Additionally, the comment hiding should be a visible option of its own.
I have requested this feature before. Either an option to select an alternate function for long press or an option to disable long press entirely. I tend to scroll slow so I often hide some comments even if I didn’t mean to.
I use the long press for comment collapse feature extensively and removing it would break my user experience, maybe this can be an alternative option for long press but I definitely need the existing functionally to stay put.
It could be a long tap on the space to the right of the comment timestamp.
There should definitely be a way to select the text of a comment.
Copy Text
Part of the issue is that three dot option is pushed off screen for me in very nested comments (like yours). I can only see it comments closer to the root.
It is also nicer to be able to select which text you want to copy.
Copy text
doesn’t cut it because sometimes I just need to select a sentence or a link, not the full text.This is also a problem for the post itself, not just comments.
On android, long press for text selection is standard operation.
