5. Right click on the selected text to open the context menu

SelectableLabel: Make selection persistent

Without persistentSelection: contextMenu.visible the selection will be cleared
when context menu is opened and mouse is moved there, causing
user to be unable to copy the text.

This is needed to have the expected behavior.
