Unable to copy text from a Apex Table control

Using an Apex Table control on a page that lists instance of a particular business object…but I can’t copy text in the browser from any values in that table.
Is this expected? Is there a way to allow the copying?

Copying from html tables is always tricky. The most solid approach would be to add a copy icon button that copies the data as a CSV or TSV. There is also a download TSV button in the dynamic components that you could add to your page.
