Thank you for looking at the bug, but I don't understand your reaction. How is wanting to be able to select text and copy it "a geek feature"? The only thing I can think of is because you're trying to solve the problem in the wrong way, using a complicated geeky menu system.

Why?

This looks like the same bug for a different component. It also asks to make the text selectable.

I think most people who have commented in this and related bugs see menu options as being second best. If the text is selectable you don't need several options for the different combinations of bits of address that you might want to copy, you can just select the bit you need.
