Hover Options
I suggest moving or removing the hover options on chat messages. The problem with them is that when you hover over the message, you can no longer highlight the covered-up portion of the message - which is a problem if you're trying to copy and paste something out of the chatbox, especially on shorter messages.

This implementation also violates other accessibility standards and is being very difficult to use. Particularly for 1-line messages, it is too easy to react to the wrong message because it is unclear which pop-up you are getting, and it's hard to keep the pointer over one if there are any motility issues (including using touch-pad).

Please fix. Its such a pain. We regularly message each other 7 digit product codes and have to copy/paste them from the chat. Cant do it because of a bunch of dumb buttons hovering on the text.
All the while there is a **** load of empty space next to the message that you could put the buttons.

This idea was hard to find and there are several duplicates of it with lesser votes. Perhaps this should be retitled something like "Bookmark and Like buttons mask chat messages upon hover" in order to garner more votes. Surely more than 49 of us see this as a major UX flaw.

when trying to copy a small snippet of text, the hover **** COVERS THE WHOLE CHUNK OF TEXT!!!! WHO DESIGNED THIS??!!!?? Why would you make BUTTONS cover the CONTENT of a message?
