Web UI - connectivity modal dialog blocks copy/paste

If connectivity is lost for whatever reason, I cannot copy the text in the terminal. I have to resort to screen shot the window, and they copy the text from the image with OCR, or retype it.

Example. I made a jq query that I wanted to use.

Is this for the Consul course? If so, you should set the tag for the post so Hashicorp savvy people will tend to this.

All content across every course.

I’m not sure how you can best deal with this problem, but I’d guess that you can use your web developer tools on your browser to get at parts of the page that are sitting under the modal dialog in the page’s DOM. This would let you copy out the part of the page that you can’t get at when the connectivity modal would otherwise be in your way.

It’s a major annoyance. But I religiously take notes for labs, so I am not too bothered. Preview.app on macOS has built-in OCR, so also I can screenshot and scan the text.
