[Bug] Hold pressing on a message does not work properly on macOS (Copy action) #916

Description

Summary

On macOS, long-press behavior for messages is inconsistent and buggy

Steps to reproduce

  1. Long-press menu appears only for incoming messages and doesn’t work for outgoing ones
  2. Menu position looks misaligned/buggy
  3. Single tap unexpectedly copies text (on both iOS and macOS)

Expected behavior

iOS

  • Single tap: No action
  • Long-press: Show context menu (Reply, Copy, etc.)
  • Two-finger tap: Copy text directly

macOS

  • Single tap: No action
  • Long-press (left mouse button): Copy text (if message contains text)
  • Two-finger tap (trackpad / right-click): Show context menu

Actual behavior

  • Long-press menu only appears for incoming messages, not outgoing ones
  • Menu position is buggy
  • Single tap copies text (unexpected) — both on iOS and macOS

Acceptance Criteria

  • On iOS:
    • Single tap does nothing
    • Long-press shows menu
    • Two-finger tap copies text
  • On macOS:
    • Single tap does nothing
    • Long-press copies text
    • Two-finger tap shows menu

Notes

  • Long-press should always trigger animation for feedback
  • Copy action only applies if the message contains text
