Latest Update (May 2023), Right-Click copy highlighted text selects and copies entire message
As of lately, appears to be with newest update to teams, when you select a specific text from a teams message and right-click to copy, it selects the ENTIRE message and copies the entire message. CTR...
AndyEbert245 Oddly, I have just the opposite problem (Teams v1.6.00.16472 updated 22 June 2023). I select the entire text of a message in Teams, then right click and the selection narrows to just a single sentence, or even less. Oddly, ^C works correctly (it copies the entire text that I've selected).
Copy-paste has worked correctly in Windows applications since Win3.1, why can't Teams get it right?
mcswell I believe this is the same problem, regardless of how much or little I highlight, right clicking changes the text selection to the current line. For my team it's always expanding the selection because we're usually copying device IDs or ticket numbers out of a chat, but I can reproduce your issue by selecting more than one line.
