# Objective Fixes #57766 Allow users to select and copy the text of commit messages from the git graph details panel. ## Solution Implements selectable commit message in the detail panel using `MarkdownElement`s a la `commit_view`. ### Affordances considered and abandoned: - "copy message" and/or "copy subject" buttons, but the UI here is already pretty tight and I don't feel confident enough in my design chops or familiarity with Zed to propose bigger UI changes here. - Default-collapsed message with expand button, a la `commit_view`. The use-case of this panel is to get the gist of a commit while moving somewhat quickly through the graph. One might argue that the subject line alone is enough for that, but often it isn't and the thought of having to constantly expand commit messages rather than making the message immediately visible with scroll felt like it would produce a repetitious experience. ## Testing - Adds two unit tests to verify that selection works and is idempotent ## Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable ## Showcase Video demonstrating the functionality: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b910aaa3-2db2-4da8-904b-21b270677ca9 --- Release Notes: - Show full commit message as markdown in details panel of the git graph
