Bug Description
The new text selection system is totally messed up. The addition of "auto-copy" was too clever by half (it broke my muscle memory in other terminal apps making me confused about whether I'd copied or not). So then I turned auto-copy off but I still can't copy with command-c (which also broke my muscle memory... I've started sending interrupts (control-c) to other CLI apps when I'm trying to copy text.
Related, I can't command-double-click a link in Claude to open it.
There's room for innovation but breaking longstanding OS conventions because you think your way is better is not a good UX
