ui5-table: cannot select text from table cell

[tamiarah]

Describe the bug
It is not possible to select the content of a table cell in case you want to copy the text from this cell. It is only working for the column headers but not in the rows. It is working in your example here: https://sap.github.io/ui5-webcomponents/playground/components/Table/
However, it is not working now, when implementing a table and then trying to copy the cell content.

To reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. See attached link and try to copy "test" from the table row.

Isolated example
https://codesandbox.io/s/ui5-webcomponents-0kt3c?fontsize=14&hidenavigation=1&theme=dark

Expected behavior
It should be possible to select the content, that you can copy it.

Context

• UI5 Web Components version: 1.0.0-rc.5
• OS/Platform: Mac OS

Affected components
ui5-table (ui5-table-cell, ui5-table-row)

Thanks!

Hello @tamiarah

Thanks for reporting.

If you wrap the text nodes in spans - the text would be selectable.
We still don't know why it's not working your way.

 <ui5-table-cell><span>test</span></ui5-table-cell>

Hi @ilhan007

Thanks for your fast response and the workaround with the span!

Unfortunately,
I could not find the root cause, but as there is fine workaround I will close the issue

I hope it is fine for you.

Best,
