Bug: `llama-server` web UI resets the text selection during inference on every token update

[mashdragon]

What happened?

When using llama-server, the output in the UI can't be easily selected or copied until after text generation stops. This may be because the script replaces all the DOM nodes of the current generation when every new token is output.

The existing text content ideally shouldn't be replaced during generation so we can copy the text as it continues to produce output.

This is still an issue which impacts usability.

this should now be resolved, we have a dedicated copy button on the new UI

No, sadly the same issue still is there. During generation, try selecting some text. The text nodes are immediately overwritten, causing your selection to disappear.
