It's not. it's much much worse. I've just spent about an hour of my life i'll never get back, trying to setup some of my throwaway email accounts in Vivaldi to save opening WebMail when I want to check them. A couple of the accounts threw up server errors requiring me to visit a URL to authorise the client [ie. Vivaldi] to access the accounts via IMAP.
Vivaldi showed the server message but made it so that the message text [including the URL I was supposed to visit, which ended with a long alphanumeric string] was not selectable.
Nor could I 'view source' to copy/paste it that way
Nor could I print the page to PDF to try and retrieve it from there.
Nor could I save the data I'd entered for that account, so I could come back to it later.
So I was left with the choice of painfully transcribing about 100 char alphanumeric string by hand [for 2 separate accounts!] to go to the required authorisation URL, or throw Vivaldi in the bin. Guess which option I chose?
Incidentally. There's a special place in hell reserved for developers who make text on error messages and alerts non-selectable!
