I just saw that the menu appears at the very top of the topic, while I was selecting the last few messages at the bottom and expected it to be shown close to where the selection interaction was happening.

How could the selection menu be made more easily discoverable on mobile?

1. Duplicating it at the bottom?
2. A floating link to the menu?
3. The `position: fixed` layout works very well on desktop but on mobile it would cover most of the screen, unless collapsed, so maybe collapsing it would do the trick.
