Often I tend to scroll too slowly and it registers as a long press so some random comment gets hidden and I have to unhide it. Can you add an option to disable long press actions? Or it could be improved so it doesn’t register if it’s not a stationary press but I’m not sure whether it would work or if other people already like the way long press works.

Edit: Apparently it already registers only stationary press so maybe either an on/off switch or long press time adjustment would be good to have.

Triggering the select/copy function on long press would feel more natural in my opinion.

I agree with this. I also feel like collapsing a comment thread should be an option when you highlight a selected comment, rather than getting rid of the feature.

What’s the actual way to select text in a comment now? I haven’t found a way

To copy the whole comment you can open the kebab menu of the comment and select Copy Text but I don’t think it’s possible to select just a portion of the text in thread view. In reply view it seems to work by long pressing the comment. So you have to click reply in order to select text.

Yeah, not ideal. Especially with large comments
