GitHub Issue: Text Selection in Dialog Captures Background Content in iTerm2
Title
Text selection in authorization dialog includes content outside dialog boundaries when using Cmd+Click or drag selection in iTerm2
Description
When using opencode in iTerm2, the OAuth authorization dialog has text selection issues that make it difficult to copy the authorization URL.
Environment
- Terminal: iTerm2
- Application: opencode (TUI)
Problem
The authorization dialog displays a URL that needs to be copied, but text selection behaves incorrectly:
- Cmd+Click selection: Only selects text from the clicked line, missing the full URL
- Drag selection: Selects text outside the dialog boundaries, capturing background terminal content
Expected Behavior
- Text selection should be constrained to the dialog content only
- Users should be able to easily select and copy the complete authorization URL
Example of incorrectly selected text:

That looks like terminal native selection. Are you selecting with a modifier like shift when drag selecting?
