Bug: Can't select text in QML TextInput

If I use a standard QML TextInput element, text selection doesn't work as it does with the TextField element: nothing happens when I long-press text inside the TextInput.

What you essentially want to do is to show selectable read-only text, right?

Qt components for MeeGo/Harmattan solved this problem by adding optional text selection functionality to Label. It creates the selection handles (and a TextInput instance) on the fly when appropriate. Perhaps the same approach could be used for the Silica Label?

No. Selection doesn't work for the TextInput even when it's not read only.
