Content from the Reference panel is not selectable

Issue

Content that describes what a particular function, element or attribute does in code is not selectable, but the example code is selectablein the Reference panel (Window > Reference) in Macromedia Dreamweaver 8.

For example, in the image below the green area of the reference panel is not selectable. The yellow area can be clicked on to select and copy the area.

Reason

This is functioning as designed. There have been a number of requests for the ability to copy all the text in this panel. If you would like to add your vote for this functionality being added to a future release, please submit a feature request.
