Current behavior
Unlike p-dataTable, in a p-table with either selectionMode="single" or selectionMode="multiple", it is not possible to select the text in a cell to copy it. Eg. Try to copy text from on of the cells in the table on https://www.primefaces.org/primeng/#/table/selection . The moment you finished highlighting the text you want to copy, the highlight is removed and no Copy option is available in the context menu.

By contrast, in p-dataTable at https://www.primefaces.org/primeng/#/datatable/selection, it is possible to select and copy the contents of a cell.

For some applications it is important for the user to be able to copy values from the displayed data for the values to be used elsewhere.

Expected behavior
After selecting text within a cell, the text should remain selected/highlighted, and a right-click should give a context menu with a copy option.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

• Visit https://www.primefaces.org/primeng/#/table/selection
• Use the mouse left button to try to select some text within a cell
• The moment you let go of the mouse button, the highlighted text is de-selected, so copying is not possible.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
For some applications it is important for the user to be able to copy values from the displayed data for the values to be used elsewhere. After all, who doesn't love Copy and Paste?
