Bug Description
This bug has been reported and fixed in a prior version of Ubuntu, but I'm submitting a new bug because it is not fix in Ubuntu 14.04.
You cannot highlight or copy any text (such as package-names) from the Ubuntu Software Center.
When I do not know the name of a package, I often user Software Center to discover what the package name is. What a let down it is when I can't copy the text I'm looking for once I've found it. I'm a big fan of copy and paste to avoid mis-types, and in an open source desktop/OS I expect all text to be "copy-able".
This feature is broken again 14.04.
In addition to fixing this again, some thought should be given to how it can be fixed in a manner that ends this cycle of:
" report > fix > break > report > fix > break again".
