Can't select label text when using a master page

I have a variety of pages that use a master page. For some reason when I
attempt to copy any of the label text on the screen it seems to highlight
most of the screen randomly and I can't simply copy the text. I can select
all text that is inside a control such as a text box. It is only the labels
that I can't get a hold of. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Uh, don't use labels? Can you copy text when using a Literal or simple text
styled if neccessary using a span?

Thank you for the rapid reply. Yes I can copy text when using simple text.
I guess I could just throw an id and a runat server tag on a span or use a
literal. So is this normal behavior to not be able to select the text in a
label?
