Using Firefox 58.0.2 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro.
When I triple-click or select by dragging across two lines on a user's user-handle on their page, the resulting copied text has two spaces surrounding the string: one preceding, one succeeding. This can be a flow issue when attempting to follow somebody by copy-pasting a user's full handle into your desired instance account instead of remote-following.

Duplication:
Additional notes:
If I triple-click on the user handle on the full profile page, the resulting string has a space before and after the handle.
If I select using this motion in either direction to select the user-handle, the resulting string only has a space after the handle.
If I triple-click on the user handle on the in-web-client profile, the resulting string only has a space after the handle.
If I select using the same motion as above on the in-web-client profile, the resulting string only has a space after the handle.
Additional note: The user search does not work if there is only a space after the handle.
i.e., searching "@[email protected] " then pressing enter results in 0 results.
