Apps like Instagram/Pintrest have just made the user feel blunt when they can't even select a snippet of text in the app, following hyperlinks in a comment...or even download media by right-clicking on the web-browser
- PhilipRoman 3y agoTo be fair this is not a new problem. Windows still doesn't let you select text at all in certain GUI contexts. Especially annoying when you need to copy an error message.
- vxNsr 3y agomost error messages you can just click on the error window and press ctrl+c and then paste to your favorite text editor. this works nearly everywhere in W10- that uses native code to display the error, I can't vouch for how well this works in W11 where they butchered everything
- DarthNebo 3y agoSure for native GUIs yes, but this was already something browsers supported & these apps just steam-rolled their 'keep 'em hooked & on platform' plan....I just lose patience when there's no slider on most doom-scroll apps either. Like c'mon....thankfully reddit still has it
