>Is this intended behavior?
This is indeed intended behaviour. The general rule is that users should be allowed to select and copy any text they want. This is not a high priority feature in most cases, which is why it is not always available/implemented.
Of course the text label on buttons generally cannot be selected by mouse because clicking the button presses the button instead.
Also for blind users text is generally being read out when keyboard focus moves there. Because of this, it is generally desirable that any text can be navigated to with the keyboard and then consequentially also be selected.

Created attachment 181607 [details] Bug screenshot SUMMARY The text in the status bar is selectable. Is this intended behavior? My expectation as a user is, that this is part of a "hard" UI element, like text in the left sidebar (e.g. "Orte" or "Fremdgerät" in the screenshot) or the window title. Those texts are not selectable. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Dolphin. 2. Make sure you have a status bar enabled (Dolphin Settings → User Interface → Status and Address bars); both "small" and "full width" are affected. OBSERVED RESULT The filename and file size text at the bottom left are selectable. In the "full width" status bar, the text "Vergrößerung:" is (IMO correctly) not. EXPECTED RESULT No text in the status bar is selectable.
