Cannot click buttons under my messages (edit/copy)

Hey folks, totally get why that’s frustrating. The button showing up, then disappearing before you can reach it, makes the UI feel broken. Here’s what we know so far: this copy/edit hover behavior is part of a feature that isn’t officially released yet, so there isn’t a solid workaround available right now. It still looks like it’s in testing, and branched chats may be exposing an edge case. Since you can reproduce it across browsers and private mode, the most useful next step would be opening a support ticket via email to support@openai.com with a HAR file and a short screen recording showing the issue happening. That gives the team something concrete to trace instead of guessing from the UI behavior alone. Appreciate the detailed repro notes too, they’re genuinely helpful here. -Mark G.
