Unable to copy text from room description if no permission to change it

[afranke]

Steps to reproduce

• Go to the room settings for any room which you are not a moderator of
• Text in the room description is greyed out because you don’t have permission to change it. You can still select parts of it. Select text.
• Right click on it.

Expected: “Copy” is possible.
Actual result: “Copy” is disabled.

This was discovered because a room description was too long to be displayed completely in the header and I went to the room settings to copy a link from there.

Closing in favour of #9623

#9623 is what made discover this, but they are two distinct issues.

We can't control whether your browser makes a disabled textarea copyable or not, so the plan is to expose the full topic in a more dedicated mechanism #9623

Your issue is a direct duplicate of #15693 which was closed in favour of #9623
