Description kokotokosoko 2016-02-04 13:16:37 UTC

This used to work, but no longer does as far as I can tell.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Generate some persistent (cf bug #358978) notification by whichever means at your disposal.
2. Wait for it to disappear.
3. Click on the notifications icon so as to display the notifications history.
4. Try to select text from a notification.

Actual Results:  
Text cannot be selected.
Context menu does not provide a “copy” function (though without selection, this is substandard).


Expected Results:  
Text should be selectable *and* copyable.

Interestingly, when the notification body does get shown (cf. bug 358979), it is both selectable and copyable. See https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=97010 The word "World" can be selected there.

Comment 2 Martin Klapetek 2016-02-04 15:36:31 UTC

The item in the history popup is selectable. The popup should be too.
That I will fix.

The titles, however, will not be. This is a limitation of the platform
components and I was told there is no plan to make those selectable.

If you want that, you need to file a new bug report against Plasma
components and discuss it there.

Ok, cheers.

Doesn't clicking on a pop-up causes it to be dismissed? There might be some interaction problems there.

[notifications] Make the text selectable in the popup too

This simplifies the component by removing the Loader-property combo and
leaves just a read-only TextEdit
