Unable to copy text from the table in the running report

Hello colleagues!

I came across a strange issue. When I run the report in Cognos Analytics 11 in the running report (crosstab, list) I can not select and copy the text in the cells. The whole cell is selected, but I cannot select the text separately. Accordingly, when a cell is selected, a window appears with possible actions - filtering, sorting, and so on. But I don't need it, I need to copy data from this cell
I tried Firefox and Internet Explorer Browsers, the same result.
In Cognos 10 everything works as it should, the problem only with version 11. I can not find anywhere in the settings, maybe you came across this issue...
How to make it possible for a running report to select and copy any data from the cell in the tables?

I'm working on something that will deal with this. Would a popup window with the contents of the cell work? Do you need this functionality in other places besides reports?

I think this is a result of "run with full interactivity":

Yes => can't copy cell values, but have advanced options (filter, sort, etc.)
No => can copy cell values, but have no advanced options

How can I disable this feature "run with full interactivity"? I don't need this advanced options.
Could you help me to find this?

Hi,

You will find this as a property of the Report. While editing the report, select the Report object level and open the Properties pane. You can then change the setting accordingly.
