--- Comment #1 from Felix Ernst <felixernst at kde.org> ---
>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.
