Cannot copy to clipboard from MD About page |
|||||||
Issue descriptionIt does not appear possible to select text and copy it from the new MD pages, including the new about page. While it might be necessary in most places, being able to select and copy your current version of Chrome seems like something that would come up often when debugging browser issues. Steps to repro: 1. Go to the About page (from Chrome > About Google Chrome or chrome://help/). 2. Try to select and copy the Chrome version number. Expected result: The text should be selectable and copyable. Actual result: The I-beam cursor appears when hovering over the text, but it cannot be selected or copied.

Yep, this is desirable but only for a few parts of the About page: https://screenshot.googleplex.com/tWjqK7NGvMm

How about all the information residing under "detailed build info"? Making specific sections seletable is definitely doable, but I am wondering if it is worth the extra effort of hunting such sections one by one. Is it considered bad UX to have the entire page selectable?

+bettes My opinion is yes, it is undesirable to have everything selectable. For the detailed build info page, all light-gray text should also be selectable.

Sounds good. I also see now that this matches the behavior of the old About page (not everything is selectable).
