Summary: not possible to copy text from commentary

Initial Comment:
It is not possible to copy text from any commentary (or at least not any that I have installed). Copy feature works as expected on all Texts, Books, Lexicons, etc – everything except commentaries. In commentaries, text can be selected, but attempts to copy it fail.

This problem was observed in KDE running on Gentoo Linux (both AMD 64 and x86).

I was able to copy both an entry and individual text from both BibleTime
1.6.3 and BibleTime 1.6.4 running on Gentoo.  However, copying an entire
entry does only work when you have selected an anchor (i.e. the verse
number), not the middle of the text.  Because I could not find a
non-trivial way to fix this, I just set the menu item to be grayed out
except when it would actually copy something.

FYI, this latter bug affected not only commentaries but also books and
lexicons.

On Ubuntu Gutsy I can copy selected Text in a commentary, but not an
entire "entry". Needs to be checked.

Jeremy, could you look into this?

I should also add, this was with Bibletime version 1.5.3, which is the
current stable version in Gentoo.
