Cannot select text from preview pane
-
Reprodcution steps:
- create a post that abuses ‌ and try to select preview as a quick way of getting the ZWNJ on the clipboard to hide your shenanigans
- realize you cannot select from the preview pane
- yip in panic
- chase your tail for a while
- nap
- eat a cookie
- write a bug report with detailed reprodcution steps
- (anticipated) wait anxiously for the enevitable E_NO_REPRO reply

*-user-select: none;
rules are all applied to the.composer
