Public bug reported:

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".
