>>>   My Info:   Win7_64, Nightly 49, 32bit, ID 20160526082509
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.

STR_1:
1. Open url  https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/json-pushes?changeset=f8bdceb55c9d&full=1
2. Select via mouse the 1st occurrence of string "Bug 384458" on the page
3. Press Ctrl+C

AR:  When I release left mouse button, all selection is canceled. Can't select and copy the text
ER:  After Step 3 text "Bug 384458" should be copied to clipboard

Note:  Bug 1243951 comment 2 asks for complaints. Here's a complaint.

This is regression from 1256757. Regression range:

It seems that this is a regresion caused by your change. Please have a look.

This restores the behavior from bug 1232634: nodes are only toggled by clicking labels. Clicking a value still selects the row, though.

Is this something we should consider nominating for Beta approval for DevEdition users?

Not being able to select long strings is very disrupting, so maybe it should be uplifted indeed.
Honza, what do you think?
