Cannot select and copy text in Edge v131

[Rain Vaine]

Hello experts,

We encountered a weird behavior while using Edge v131 browser. When trying to select a text to be copied using the cursor, it is not working. As you can see there a watermark showing it can't be copied.

It is possible to copy either by using a short cut or utilizing the keyboard.
But supposedly you should be able to select and copy text via dragging for selection like in this chrome browser behavior.

Does anyone of you encounter a similar behavior in Edge v131?

Regards,
Vaine

Hi @Rain Vaine, 

Yes this is known issue after latest browser update.

Its not showing the selection but the text is copied, you can try to past on notepad.
