- Navigate to a post with a heading (for example: #484127 from @Natalia)
- Attempt to select text from the heading, encountering issues as described.
Actual Result:
The presence of this HTML element obstructs the text selection process within post headings, leading to difficulties in selecting text accurately.
Expected Result:
Users should be able to select text within post headings seamlessly without any hindrances caused by overlapping elements.
Impact:
While this issue may not directly impact functionality, it can result in a suboptimal user experience and frustration when attempting to select specific text within headings.
