There are a number of places where we set user-select: none;, which disables text selection. This prevents a user from selecting text and (most importantly) copying the text. The inability to copy data leads to a very annoying user experience where the user must manually transcribe data from the UI.
It's not clear that there's any benefit to disabling user text selection and the inability to select text is unexpected behavior so this is a proposal to remove all user-select: none; attributes.
Expected behavior
As a user, I expect to be able to select and copy any text that is displayed in the UI.
