2FA codes not copyable in Messages on Mac

I just updated my Mac Studio to Sequoia yesterday. Now when I sign in to an account requiring 2FA and ask for the code to be texted to me I get the code in Messages but I can no longer right click the code and copy it. I've also recently updated my iPhone 16 Pro to IOS 26 and the code in the message on the phone IS copyable. What's the solution for my Studio?

Mac Studio, macOS 15.7

Have you restarted your Mac lately?

Rebooting is the best first step in troubleshooting.


If a simple reboot of your Mac doesn’t fix things, see if the problem still happens in safe mode.  Safe mode will often correct weird software behavior by forcing the OS to clear caches, do disk repair and other self-maintenance and housekeeping and temporarily disables third-party mods.

How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support 


TIP - Use a wired USB keyboard for booting in Safe mode. If you have the Magic Keyboard, plug that into the Mac with its charging cable.


Does the same thing happen while in Safe mode?


You can exit safe mode by restarting your Mac normally, then reevaluate the problem.
