Obviously, it was selected. As Mr. Harland pointed out, sometimes it is
less than obvious that an object has been selected. I'm about as certain as
I can get that, had Mr. Stevens double-clicked on the annotation box, he
would have seen that selection was checked. Also, had he attempted to copy
it to the clipboard, it would have copied.
When it is hard to select an object, sometimes a quick way to do it is to
edit the object and check selection. If it is hard to pop up an edit dialog
for the object, which can sometimes occur when parts overlap (and schematic
symbols have rectangular extents even if the part is like an op amp and has
lots of empty space around it), then the panel can be used to pop up the
object for edit: Browse Schematic/Primitives/All/[filter for the text]/Edit.
