What happened?

Normally I like to update investment account growths by:

  1. Selecting the previous value in the Running Balance column on the account page and copying it
  2. Entering "[current value] - [copied previous value]"
  3. Pressing enter to calculate the growth

But recently (maybe a few weeks ago?) the text selection stopped working in Firefox. Happens on my self-hosted instance and also on the demo budget. I also tested on Ungoogled Chromium and it works fine on there. Clip below is in Firefox:

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. Go to https://demo.actualbudget.org
  2. Open a specific account
  3. Menu > Show running balance
  4. Try to drag the mouse over the running balance figures

It will be fine for scheduled transactions rows at the top (in italic), but not for regular rows. Update - it's not consistent, in my experience.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Pikapods

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox

Operating System

Linux

Oh, so its just that you cant select it because you have to click and drag. We had to do a similar fix on the note text.

@StephenBrown2 what do you think?

It's also inconsistent, in terms of which rows' values are selectable. Doesn't seem to be any specific indices, or any specific value ranges.
