The problem

Prior to 3.5.5 when doing a commit through Github Desktop, if a commit failed due to pre-commit, or other reasons, you could select the text and copy the error. Now while the text is selectable in the "Commit Failed" screen copying the text doesn't work.

Release version

Version 3.5.5 (arm64)

Operating system

macOS Tahoe (Version 26.3 (25D125))

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Make any change to a file
2. Fail the commit (through pre-commit or other paths)
3. Try to copy the text in the commit failed message.
