I can confirm this fixes the issue.

But I can reproduce the same issue in GNOME Chess. Move any chess piece, then press the open button and try to select the text in the "Save this game before loading another one?" message box that pops up. You can't. It's a general issue with GtkMessageDialog. I found this code in gtk_message_dialog_init():

  settings = gtk_widget_get_settings (GTK_WIDGET (dialog));
  g_object_get (settings, "gtk-keynav-use-caret", &use_caret, NULL);
  gtk_label_set_selectable (GTK_LABEL (priv->label), use_caret);
  gtk_label_set_selectable (GTK_LABEL (priv->secondary_label), use_caret);

So it seems intentional. CC Benjamin Otte. Should we change that? If so, this will need to pingpong back to gitlab.gnome.org.
