       strange, but maybe I can help,
          [see comments interspersed below]

To: users@global.libreoffice.org


How do I select and copy the content of a comment?

   [if you're referring to a website, then run the mouse along the copy
which should highlight that portion, then right-click & choose copy which
should place the highlighted text in the temporary storage so you can paste
it elsewhere;

    if you're referring to an e-mail, then you can attempt to do the same -
but sometimes, you'll have to first click as if you were planning to send
the document elsewhere in order to make the copy accept the mouse - why, I
haven't a clue  ;-)]

 When I open the comment and try to select its content, all I get is a hand
to move the content around on the page.

   [whether referring to a site or an e-mail, you could 'save as' this
document to the machine, then try again when it's on your machine - why,
this works I haven't a clue other than you've possibly broken whatever the
site had holding it  ;-)]

(Eg, I've got a long URL in the comment that I want to copy and past into
the browser.) The page on inserting and editing comments doesn't seem to
address this function.

   [simplest method would be to copy a portion of this URL - paste into a
notepad document; then copy remaining portion of URL - paste this onto the
portion in notepad - then the whole URL is ready to copy & paste into your
browser window.]

thanks.
