1232634 - JSON View: copying a single text value

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: JSON Viewer, defect)

Description

[Jan Honza Odvarko [:Honza] (always need-info? me)]

Text values longer than N characters are shortened, and expanded on click. For instance I have a value that looks like this:

"https://msdn.microsoft.c.../mt146826(v=vs.94).aspx"

and clicking it expands it as:

"https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt146826(v=vs.94).aspx"

Once expanded, I want to select and copy it. I click at the start of the text, drag to the right, release the click to end the selection… and the text gets shortened and kills my selection.

The solution seems to be to start clicking outside of the text value, so that one doesn't trigger a click-that-toggles-the-value. Doable but hard to figure out.

Only clicking on node label expands it.
(fixing the UX issue).
