Something like:

Qt Code:
  1. void StatusTextItem::paint(QPainter * painter, const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem * option, QWidget * widget)
  2. {
  3. QStyleOptionGraphicsItem *o = const_cast<QStyleOptionGraphicsItem*>(option);
  4. o->state &= ~QStyle::State_Selected;
  5. QGraphicsTextItem::paint(painter, o, widget);
  6. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

It doesn't work, at least on Qt 4.6 RC1. I have not tested with Qt 4.5.3. I don't know if it's bug.
