Mark / copy'n'paste text in UI

Setup, Configuration and Use Widgets
1

I noticed I cannot mark, then copy & paste text in many places of the UI such as in oh-list-card items
Is that intentional? A bug? Only in my setup? Within range of what I can configure?

I observed the same behavior in “normal” mode. In Edit Mode I think it works. May be it’s why one can jump into another mode, when hover over and switch to another action, e.g. to a chart-view, group-view ? So this area is “restricted”

No, it’s un-mark-able about everywhere. e.g. all titles, text and footers of label widgets.

By default text rendered in browsers can be selected. If you encounter text that cannot be selected, then there’s a 99% chance that element has had its user-select css property changed to none.

The F7 library disables text selection for several of its components by default, and therefore many of the OH components inherit that too. So, the good news is that you can easily re-enable text selection on individual elements with user-select: auto or user-select: text. The bad news is that means that changing this across the entire UI hits all the usual site css roadbloacks.

Note: this is one of the css properties that has an iOS (webkit) specific variant:

Great Justin, once more you responded on point and solved my problem. Thank you!!

(Luckily, I have stylesheet: in most of my pages that I intro’d because of your previous advice)
