Yes, it ought to be that way in Dia, too, but the text input system does
not separate text input from ordinary object handling, so we had to
distinguish copying/paste of text from copy/paste of objects.  We have
plans to make text input use a real input widget rather than handling
events "by hand", which would allow for proper selection and copy/paste. 
There are still a few issues in that, though, including making sure that
we know exactly when editing starts and stops.  The yellow boxes are
partly to make that visible.
