I believe that this behavior is happening due to the re-rendering of the items in the grid (even if nothing has changed) upon refresh; my assumption is that taking care of this issue will be tricky; maybe we can find a more creative way of allowing copying cells content into clipboard (adding UserExperience keyword). after discussing with Liz: It seems that PatternFly is going towards avoiding having right-click menu items; assuming we will adopt this paradigm (as part of adopting PatternFly), we may actually be able to utilize the browser's native right-click menu for copying text from grid-cells. which means that we will need to take care of the selection disappearance as documented in this BZ, maybe by making sure that if a grid-cell content remains the same as before the refresh, we will not re-render the cell, or re-render and re-select the contents? [removed UserExperience Keyword, as this is a technical bug, no UXD involvement is needed here] *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1145182 *** |
Created attachment 993997 [details] screen-cast: content selection within grid cell lost (twice) upon auto-refresh Users would like to be able to copy a grid cell content to clipboard. This is currently impossible due to several issue. One of the issues is that when selecting text-content within the grid, this selection is lost once the grid is being refreshed (which happens automatically every 5 seconds by default), which would require the user to be very quick with his copying process -> annoying. See attached screen-cast for problem demonstration.
