Viewing any post, the title at the top is a hyperlink which, when clicked, needlessly reloads the page. This shouldn’t be a hyperlink because it prevents us from selecting the post title text and quoting it.

I know you’d like this fixed here, but that’s something I would report to your browser’s issue page, as it doesn’t have to work that way.
My browser (Vivaldi) even has a setting for it (that must be on by default):

Chrome, Firefox, Edge
Well, ignoring IE, technically that likely still has > 1% usage.
Learned something new:
Hold ALT and drag to select hyperlinked text. Sweet.
