✏️ [ FEAT REQ ] Make message text selection trigger on bubble selection only (similar to Telegram)

[faizul726]

Is your feature request related to a problem? If so, please describe the problem. Yes, recent update makes it harder to select bubbles.

Describe the feature you'd like The text selection should only trigger if the bubble is selected.

Additional context I am coming from QUIK v4.0.1 maybe. Today I updated to 4.1.1 to realize that I can no longer select bubbles by holding on them. Doing so selects text instead. I have to tap and hold on the background in order to select.
This behavior forces user to always click on background instead of the bubble itself.

A solution similar to Telegram would look like this:
[Msg-1]
[Msg-2]
[Msg-3]

Holding Msg1 will select that text bubble first. Then if I tap and hold on text of that bubble, it will select text. If Msg1 has already selected text, clicking Msg2 or Msg3 will first deselect selected text then multi select respective bubble.

Note that text selection only happens if that bubble is selected already.

And, thank you very much for adding text selection by the way. It's something that I wanted for a long time.

Maybe you can add a toggle for both. Personally I would prefer my solution as most of the time I will not select texts.

I am asking this because I am very used to selecting text by holding bubble.

One other thing to consider is when emoji reactions are implemented, that will use long press on the message bubble. This could perhaps cause problems and might relegate us to using double tap. Just something else to consider.
