Describe your issue

WinUI 3 UI — Hyperlinks appear clickable (cursor changes) but cannot be clicked or copied

Description:

In UniGetUI v2026.2.1, in the modern WinUI 3 interface, URLs shown in package details appear as if they were clickable (cursor changes to a hand), but:

• clicking does nothing
• right‑click → “Copy” is greyed out
• links cannot be activated or copied

Switching to Classic UI restores correct behavior (links clickable + copy enabled).

Expected behavior:

• Links should be clickable
• Or at least selectable / copyable
• Cursor should not indicate clickability if no action is bound

Environment:

• UniGetUI 2026.2.1
• Windows 11

This looks like a WinUI 3 hyperlink control issue, but the UX inconsistency is in UniGetUI.

Steps to reproduce the issue

• Open UniGetUI (version 2026.2.1)
• Go to Settings → Appearance and enable the Modern UI (WinUI 3) interface
• Open any package (for example: 7zip, VLC, Firefox, etc.)
• Locate the URLs displayed in the package details (Homepage, Installer, Source, etc.)
• Move the mouse over the links:
  • the cursor changes to a hand, suggesting clickability
• Try to click the links:
  • nothing happens
• Try to select the text:
  • the text is not selectable
• Right‑click on the link:
  • the context menu appears but Copy is greyed out
• Switch to Classic UI and repeat the same steps:
  • links are clickable
  • text is selectable
  • Copy works as expected

Relevant information

You asked to confirm whether the issue was tested with the latest beta (nightly) version — but I cannot find any available beta builds.

This may look like a cosmetic issue rather than a functional bug, but proper UX design should never display a “clickable link” pointer if the element is not actually clickable.

There are two possible ways to fix this:

• make the links truly clickable
• or disable the hand cursor so it remains a normal arrow
