Selecting multiple messages worth of text highlights the sender's avatar unexpectedly

It would be lovely if highlighting + copy+pasting the message text 'just worked'

Would be a lot better if mx_MessageTimestamp , mx_Flair and mx_EventTile_avatar had a user-select: none; CSS attribute (I'll try to open a PR).

Ideally (in my opinion), multiline messages would put the username in front of every line instead of being in a separate line at the top

Also an extension of this issue is #893 . Interestingly, the option of using user-select was already discussed there but there was something about it not working correctly in browsers, but in chromium 73.0.3683.103, electron 4.1.4 and firefox 66.0.3 it works fine.
