Description

Since v4.x, each column value (text) is no longer selectable. It opens the log area instead. This is very inconvenient especially when I want to copy the test ID value.
Please consider changing column values selectable again, or add an option to switch back to the previous behavior at least.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in a generated pytest HTML report and inspect how result-table column values interact with the log area. The work is done when column text, including test IDs, can be selected and copied without opening the log area, with a regression test covering that behavior.
