Fixing ChatGPT's losing-focus bug

Hacker News

When you select a paragraph in ChatGPT's UI as it's streaming in, your focus on the element is continuously lost each time a new text character streams in, so if you try and copy and select something mid-stream, it's a moving target. I wrote up a simple/quick fix. I imagine landing the actual fix for them would be more difficult given they embed different elements alongside text, e.g. code blocks, which is where I first noticed this issue (trying to select a short snippit of code from a long block as it streams in).
