Copying and selecting text within the Facebook app and on the mobile/desktop sites using the pinch gesture

Hi All
Has anyone noticed, or is it just me, but within the Facebook app, and I think on the mobile and desktop site, you cannot select text using the pinch gesture? It could be that I'm doing something wrong, so maybe some of yall could try it and report back here what you found out.
This would Be helpful, as I may want to copy Someone's status, from a group or something that I have joined on Facebook. Does anyone know right off hand, if you can share a person's status from a group your in? And, does anyone have any tricks or tips on copying and selecting text using this gesture? Right now, I don't think you can.
Any feedback on this, is greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much, Shane.
