Copying text - hovering menu hides the end of the text
When copying text from a message, the ending of the message is hidden by the "More Options" hover.

The team is still working on this fix, as part of a larger design change. Given internal feedback, it has been decided the current design isn’t ready for primetime.
In the meantime, someone discovered that triple clicking will actually select all of the text. I know we want the real fix, but thought I’d share.
Thanks for your patience.

Hiding text on roll-over just seems like bad UI - this points to a lack of real user testing - there is always a strong need to properly cut and paste from conversations. Please never, ever hide text on roll-over. This needs a prioritized fix.

Can we get an update on this? I have to have people send me random text/words after the bit to copy just so I can highlight what I need. This is fun to explain to people...

Fix for this problem, by the Teams Engineering Microsoft Team:
1- Triple click the text that is hidden by the thumbup (what a waste of time BTW, you should call it the Boss Licking Button)
2- Paste this text in notepad
3- Select the desired information, let's say a phone number
4- Paste the info in the desired appThis easy to solve problem is the worst of all on MS Team. Just got migrated from Sametime to Team. Second worst thing is I can't add a contact in my contact list without ...
1- write the name in searchbar and then click contact
2- Click the wanted contact, it opens a chatbox
3-Then you would think there is a button to add contact to contact list... so you search and search... but no button there
4- You have to click the chat panel, then recent, then scroll down to the bottom of the list, because that where the most recent is suppose to be... at The bottom.
5- rightclck the draft conversion and add to favourite contactWhat is wrong with MS engineers?

Can you put a temporary fix in, at least?! This makes teams a NIGHTMARE when people share sensitive information you need to copy verbatim. "Design not ready" don't give us this answer, it's utterly ridiculous you can't fix such a simple issue after YEARS. Any programmer could fix this issue in 5 minutes after looking at the code naked for the first time. WAKE UP MICROSOFT

move the like button out of the chat box please!!!! It is extremely annoying when you try to copy/select a line of text in the chat and then the like button and "more option" button just completely block the end part of the text.

@Alex, who did design it, was not very inspired !
it's impossible to read or select the one-line text with this covering, I don't even talk about multi-quote selection.... what a ****** chat should be, if you can't select what you just typed ! -

Highlighting over a piece of chat text gives the flag options. Thee absolutely need to be moved. Typical highlighting text to copy becomes extremely difficult. Get the pop up buttons OUT of the chat area.
See example attached image. Its annoying as ****. Caused me to smash a mouse. -

A common problem, and one which MS has been aware of for over a year.

When I want to copy a text on the message, it's being covered by message options, this is really annoying.

The genius coming up with dots menu idea never worked in real environment. Messaging is used to share URLs, user names, passwords, etc by infrastructure teams almost exclusively. When production is down and you are the one on call having credentials in front of you but not able to select .. oh my

What a ****** product, and service to boot. But since it is Microsoft who has taken over skype - who could possibly be surprised by this? I see that MS has completely stopped responding to this thread. Too complicated to resolve this?

When copying with a short string such as "AAAA", it seems difficult because when mouse hover, the string hide behind the "Save this message" and "Like this message" .

This only happens when a user sends me multiple messages without my response. On the first message, the command icons overlap the timestamp; I'm fine with that. In every message after the first, the first line of the chat bubble is the actual message. When hovering over these, the command icons cover the message. On small messages like "task 29132" which I just got, I cannot copy the task number because the useless like/bookmark icons overlap the text. These icons need to appear outside of the text region.
