Label Text Selection

[Thiago Milczarek Sayão]

Hi Dirk,

This would be great. It's a feature I miss.

On my scenario (we do a POS pharmacy software) users want to copy things
such as product code/barcode, description, etc.

I think it's not a trivial task to develop this, since labels can wrap,
ellipsise. They are inside tables and other components.

Some countries have user information protection laws, so it should not
always be enabled.
