Subject: bug#48409: Text runs away before user can copy it
Date: Fri, 14 May 2021 14:32:54 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87cztt4yg9.5.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)

Do e.g.,
M-! cat /etc/motd

OK now in the minibuffer are several lines of juicy text.

Now grab the mouse and attempt to copy that text.

Alas, upon clicking, the text disappears.

Pro users know better, but average bumpkin users will be frustrated.

So maybe have the minibuffer stay put / stay open during this sequence of events.
