Cannot select from tooltip

[nikku]

Describe the bug

In many places in the properties panels we show examples (i.e. for the timer event). However, these examples are often times meaningless, because I cannot select / copy from a tooltip. I have to replicate (type them), which is hard / error prone or open the external documentation link, just to copy the same examples from there:

Steps to reproduce

1. Model a timer start event
2. Add timer ("Date")
3. Try to fill value field, with help from tooltip

Expected behavior

I am able to select contents of a tooltip, so they are helpful.

Alternatively we could consider that our tooling is generally more helpful, i.e. for date fields, or duration fields it could offer patterns or a selection UI. This would not be a general solution to this problem though.

Environment

• OS: Any
• Camunda Modeler Version: v5.32.0
• Execution Platform: Camunda 8 / Any
• Installed plug-ins: None

Additional context

No response

We could alternatively allow to copy via click on code, but I think it's better to simply allow selection and copy. The former is easy to implement, so I'm adding this to spring cleaning list.

I can actually select in the bpmn-js-properties-panel tooltip, but not in the Desktop Modeler.

I can actually select in the bpmn-js-properties-panel tooltip, but not in the Desktop Modeler.

Very likely due to rigid user-select: none then, enforced in Desktop Modeler.

Closed with #4841, and it followed up with a bugfix in bpmn-io/properties-panel#399
