Ctrl + A on outage splash screen selects hidden things

(#2881) Bug Awaiting confirmation desktop ui

Observed behaviour

Ctrl + A will select the visible text and a lot of things that were visible prior to the outage. This is visually revealed by dragging, and copying after hitting Ctrl + A will paste some hidden text (for me it copied some people's custom statuses, my username, my fluxer tag and my custom status)

Reproduction steps

  1. Wait for a Fluxer outage (or cause one :blob3cevil:)
  2. Wait for the outage-specific text to appear on the splash screen (the clickable one that sends you to fluxerstatus.com)
  3. Hit Ctrl + A
  4. Click and drag on the outage-specific text
  5. Copy what is selected and paste it in a text editor
