Currently, looking-tap behavior hides the comment. This should enable text selection instead.

Additionally, the comment hiding should be a visible option of its own.

    I have requested this feature before. Either an option to select an alternate function for long press or an option to disable long press entirely. I tend to scroll slow so I often hide some comments even if I didn’t mean to.

    Copy text doesn’t cut it because sometimes I just need to select a sentence or a link, not the full text.

    This is also a problem for the post itself, not just comments.

    On android, long press for text selection is standard operation.

    I use the long press for comment collapse feature extensively and removing it would break my user experience, maybe this can be an alternative option for long press but I definitely need the existing functionally to stay put.

      It could be a long tap on the space to the right of the comment timestamp.

      There should definitely be a way to select the text of a comment.

          Part of the issue is that three dot option is pushed off screen for me in very nested comments (like yours). I can only see it comments closer to the root.

          It is also nicer to be able to select which text you want to copy.
