Text in Cinnamon applet settings dialogs (auto-generated from settings-schema.json) cannot be selected with the mouse. This is because the settings UI uses St.Label which doesn't support text selection by default.
This is inconvenient when users want to copy a setting value, tooltip text, or any label shown in the settings window.
Please consider making settings labels text-selectable, either by enabling selection on St.Label widgets used in settings, or by switching to a widget that supports text selection (like Gtk.Entry or St.Entry in read-only mode).
Example: right-click the calendar applet → Configure → try to select any text in that window — it's impossible.
