Description Yaron Shahrabani 2020-03-08 15:32:15 UTC 
I tried selecting part of a text message (instead of copying all of it) and I wasn't able to, is there a way to add such feature?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the SMS App
2. Try selecting part of the text
3. Copy it

OBSERVED RESULT
Impossible

EXPECTED RESULT
The text will be selected and when I right click it I have an option to copy it (same with Ctrl+C).

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to submit this! It's something I have in mind, although I don't yet have a plan for how something like this would be implemented.

Do we need external help to solve it?

I would expect that someone will come up with a working delegate once they're shared through kirigami-addons.

In general it's a matter of using TextField instead of Label.
