Read-only is expected - in View/Edit data mode we cannot allow arbitrary
modifications to the SQL query as we have no straightforward way of knowing
if a given query will result in data that can be updated.

I would like to change this in the long term (and we intend to), but it's a
significant amount of work.

As for the inability copy, that's a bug - please log it at
https://redmine.postgresql.org/projects/pgadmin4/issues/new. I took a quick
look, but removing the normal classes we use to prevent copying of parts of
the UI that really shouldn't be copied didn't help.
