I just don't see how you can select it and copy it then. For you to 
make a selected region in it and use Ctrl+C, you have to have it 
focusable. If the text is too long and you drag to the end, shouldn't 
it move the box over so you can see the rest?

That's the effect I've seen on Windows. I'll try and find an example 
when the computer starts up.

It makes label functional for a user in a situation where the developer 
has screwed up. Tooltips would come later (we need some overall tooltip 
plan), but this is hardly resource intensive (one more box), and it's 
useful.
