I just fixed it! It was disabled globally because text selection causes different problems with clickable / drawable / draggable parts of the UI. microStudio works as a single-page app.
Text selection is now enabled on the "home page" content.
Thanks! I like to bookmark interesting pages in a notes app, so usually I copy and paste some text from them to go with the link
Yeah, it triggers me since I need to select the text to then have it read to me by my TTS. I blame designers (and sometimes lazy devs), so anyone that does this care to explain why? AFAIK you should only disable text in HTML in your custom widget like if you create your own button or menu.
it's got this css:
html,body {
user-select: none;
}
Makes me remember all those blogs disabling text selection to prevent people from "stealing" their work. Which is just terrible UX for people using it for reading, I generally just exit the website immediately.
Please, never do that.
yeah I turned that off in dev tools, but why author it that way in the first place, what possible motivation...?
Possibly to prevent fast clicks being registered as double-click user select, but with a too general a target.
