Attempting to select chat text drags window pane

Running Mini 1.0.5 on macOS 10.14.4 and this is what happens when I press and drag on text within the chat log:

I would expect the user experience to be that you could select any text the chat log for copy/paste.

Cheers!

multiple (4) channel names created after another peer sends message in new channel

sorry for the long issue name

Here's a description of the user flow that I just experienced:

1. I joined a cabal I had created within Cabal Mini via the CLI and send an initial message before noticing that the channel I had joined automatically was default not the only extant channel within Mini, general:

2. This triggered the creation of the new default channel, which rendered like so within Mini:

3. Clicking on any of the four channel titles showed the same correct content: my CLI message hello world
4. Once I left the cabal for the Mini home screen and reentered the cabal, the channel names rendered correctly with the right content as well:

Not sure how to debug this on my end, but I was able to export the log via devtools. Let me know of a good email address to send it to so that I don't have to post my full cabal URL publicly 🤣

Can Cabal-Desktop-Mini work *without* a cabal-cli in same swarm?

Hi!

I've been testing with a friend. She's using Mac OS Mojave 10.14.3, I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

At this point, our provisional conclusion is: we do not seem to be able to use Cabal Desktop Mini by itself on our laptops to connect to one another remotely.

However: if we have an instance of the cabal "cli" running anywhere on the same swarm (on a remote third system, or on either of our laptops), Cabal Desktop Mini seems to work.

Summary:

(Cabal Desktop Mini = "CDM", cabal-cli = "CC". )

CDM --- CDM : doesn't work
CDM + CC --- CDM : works
CDM ---- CC ---- CDM (i.e., CDM running on each laptop, and an instance of CC running on DIgital Ocean) : works

I love the diagnostics that CDM prints out to the terminal. Maybe we can add additional diagnostics around the swarm connectivity, to see why CDM isn't connecting in ways that CC is able to?

Thanks for all this awesome work.

Cheerio!
