There is a class called TextBlock in softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/widgets/description.py which has the code that is used to display the description text.
>From what I can tell it uses a Pango layout to draw the text rather than just using a GTK Label. This is where my knowledge runs out I have no idea how one would make a Pango layout text selectable or if its even possible I couldn't find my documentation on how this all works. Anyway hopefully this is help to the next person looking into this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/835018 Title: Can't select description text in software item screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/835018/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
