Cannot set Text to selectable when using ViewMoreText

[snooplyin]

Setting the ability to long press copy from a Text component as such <Text selectable={true}>{content}</Text> does not work when inside of the <ViewMoreText> wrapper. Works as expected outside of this component

Does not work

              <ViewMoreText
                numberOfLines={5}
                renderViewMore={this.renderViewMore}
                renderViewLess={this.renderViewLess}
              >
                <Text selectable={true}>{content}</Text>
              </ViewMoreText>

Does work

              <Text selectable={true}>{content}</Text>
