Description
In general if text is inside a div or span then selection and copy should be allowed. Ideally the default menu should be allowed.
As an example - the text in ui-label notes in the builds menu.
A use case is simply copying something you've written there to post it elsewhere (twitter, whatever).
A workaround is using dev tools and inspect element and copying the text.
