Research direction
Investigate the error modal component in the desktop repository, likely located in `app/src/ui/`. Ensure that the text within the modal has `user select: text` CSS property. Check if there are any existing CSS classes that might be overriding text selection. The issue has comments (5) that may provide additional context; review the discussion for any proposed solutions.
