Select all symbol classes for copy/paste

I want to do some testing in ArcGIS Pro to see how copying/pasting symbol classes behaves in version 3.2.

In Pro 2.6.8, I could click a cell in a symbol class and hit CTRL+A to select all rows/classes. I just had to fiddle with it for a second to get it to select properly.

But in Pro 3.2, if I try the same thing, CTRL+A doesn't seem to have an effect. No rows are selected.

Is there a way to select all symbol classes in 3.2? Or was the ability to select symbol classes intentionally removed, since copying the values didn't work properly?

I just had to fiddle with it the same way I did in 2.6.8. Double-click on a cell to go into text/value editing mode. Then click a different row/symbology class. Then hit CTRL+A and CTRL+C.

Once I've done that at least one time, then CTRL+A works normally, without the extra steps beforehand.

Unfortunately, 3.2 behaves the same way as 2.6.8 when pasting the values into Excel or Notepad: an empty array/table gets pasted, not the actual values.
