The problem
To make Syndesis feel more desktop-like, we should disable text selection. We should consider doing this globally or just for certain parts of the UI, e.g. navigation. I’m not sure if this hurts accessibility or hinders functionality in any way.
This can be simply done by setting user-select: none in css.
Expected behavior
Be more desktop like.

I’d say yes on navigation elements and controls but other text I think would be best left as is, so am not in favor of globally disabling selection.
