oOnfirmed, but you can't highlight text in window titlebars either. What's the use case for this here?

To be honest, this was almost three years ago, I can't recall what the reason for this was. Things have changed quite a bit since then, there may have been important info in the title that I thought should be able to be copied.
Thanks. Regardless, it's pretty simple to do this, so I'll look into doing it.
I looked into this, and unfortunately it turns out to be rather technically hairy and would increase the memory usage of notifications. I think we'll have to say no to the request at this time, sorry.
No problem. Like I said, I really don't recall why I submitted this. One thing did just come to mind, though. Would it be possible to include the title bar text in the notification text itself? It might be useful just in case there is some important info in there at some point.
Hmm, I think we would get complaints about the duplicated text if we did that.
