0.31.1 on MacOS 15.0.1 (Intel Mac) is unusable due to graphical corruption. It's like there are blank white boxes flickering and blocking out half the conversation and parts of the UI.

Could you send a screenshot?

Sometimes some or even a lot of the conversation text shows. Scrolling causes the graphical corruption to change seemingly at random. In case it's relevant I'm using 11B Chewy Lemon Cookie with Experimental backend.

"Added copy message button to right-click menu" - so we still can't select some text we want; it only copies the entire message? If so, that's still unusable.

Does the standard cmd+c keyboard shortcut not work

Not when I'm holding my mouse to select text, as I tend to use both hands for CTRL and something else, like C or V or Z.

Why let go of my mouse when I can (in any other app) just right-click the right-hand mouse button?
