Ever since this month and while using the new team application, I can no longer copy teams chat message with the timestamp. I need the timestamp to reference conversations and it would be a pain to add the time and date stamps for every message I need to copy. Also I found that you can copy messages with a partial timestamp by highlighting the chat messages and press control c while holding the right click button on my mouse. This also doesn't help as I get a preview message with double names. It would be a pain to remove part of a line per chat message I am copying. Is there a way to restore the old copying with the timestamp and an option for those who don't want the timestamp. I know skype had this functionality.

*** COMPLAINT ***
Dear Microsoft:
The Teams app isn't particularly useful if your programming prevents me from copying the date/time stamps along with the message. Please fix it, now.
Months ago the timeestamp functionality broke, but now it's worse, now the workaround of pressing ctrl+c while still holding the mouse button (with the time highlighted) doesn't work.
Why is this feature being made progressively worse?
I still have this issue and its worse now without the timestamp. Can't copy the timestamp anymore. We need to prove that we have been communicating on tickets and more than a summary response on the ticket. Now, without the timestamp, conversation just looks like a bunch of one liners from the same person. Brings back the use of Notepad text communication.
I already tried that and no luck.
This happens to me too.
I can reset and Repair the App. Then after the next update, it breaks. My current version: 24193.1805.3040.8975
