It is my hope that Privacy is the community for this. I think freedom to use browsers the way we intend is a privacy issue.
We have likely all seen or heard that the “Select All” option has been removed from Safari — don’t hate me, I won’t be doing apple again.
That said, manual SELECTING of text still exists.
Here’s the privacy issue:
When I SELECT a small amount of text, I am offered the COPY option.
When I SELECT a few hundred words, even at Gutenberg, I’m given zero time to hit the copy button.
Just now I shifted to Firefox and had zero problem doing what I needed to do.
Could other interested folks confirm this SAFARI bug/irritant/annoyance?
Here’s the page I was using:

In safari, check what happens if you try to copy five words vs. 300 words.
Well, that’s good news. Not sure why it was easy for me in Firefox but impossible in Safari.
Thanks for taking a peek.
Any Safari extensions installed that might be interfering with this behavior? That’s the best I can figure.
