Bug report:

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Ask ChatGPT anything
  2. Select a word while Assistant's answer is still being written.

Expected result:

You have time to copy the word.

Actual result:

The selection loses its overlap with the output on the next output update.

Additional information

Browser: Firefox 102.9.0esr (64-bit)
OS: Linux desktop 5.10.0-19-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.149-2 (2022-10-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux

If I select the entire page, that is updated correctly. I suspect that what you do to the HTML element containing the output upon each update needs to move down on the following list:

  1. delete it and create another with more output
  2. modify the text within to be longer
  3. leave it in place and append another element with the difference in output
