What's Wrong?

After updating to latest version of Claude app, I can no longer copy JUST the highlighted portion of the text via the right click menu, only the entire message. In the context menu I only see "Copy message". The hilight is ignored. I think the previous version of Claude app allowed that.

Workaround: Press Ctrl-C

What Should Happen?

Only the selected (block-highlighted) portion of the text should have been copied.

Steps to Reproduce

1) Have the Claude app in the Code mode write some normal text to you (not Code quote).
2) Select a word or two in the text
3) Right click it and see in the context menu you don't have the equivalent of Ctrl-C (only Copy Message).
