Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Background Agent (GitHub, Slack, Web, Linear)

Describe the Bug

When the background agent outputs a lot of code, it would be handy to quote the code to direct the LLM better to the places where I want small tweaks.

However, weirdly, the web UI doesn’t permit me select the code using mouse. Or, is this by design?

Steps to Reproduce

Try to select the code with the mouse

Operating System

MacOS

Ok, apparently it’s selectable, but selection color is exactly the same as the background color.

Hey, thanks for the report. We’ll try to improve this.

Thanks.

FWIW, for large changes, it would be even more convenient to have a fully-fledged PR review flow – I create a PR on Github, I leave a PR review with inline comments, and Background agent picks that up in the same conversation as was used to create the PR to begin with. Or, is this flow already supported?
