   This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

   • [bug] ghostty/arch | moving the mouse over the terminal content highlights it as if you're click-dragging #2037: [bug] ghostty/arch | moving the mouse over the terminal content highlights it as if you're click-dragging
   • Text selection highlight for copying messages is not cleared when clicking and releasing without dragging #1992: Text selection highlight for copying messages is not cleared when clicking and releasing without dragging
   • Add a /copy command to copy latest message (or allow scrolling while selecting text) #2118: Add a /copy command to copy latest message (or allow scrolling while selecting text)

   These issues all relate to problematic text selection/copying behavior during scrolling and mouse interactions. Issue #2037 specifically mentions text highlighting during mouse movement, and #1992 describes similar auto-copy behavior that gets stuck.

   Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.
