The answer, as usual, seems to be more "bloody-minded" than that.

I set up, as per your suggestion, a new Mainstack (while ThunderBird was 
running)
with one button containing the script

on mouseUp
put "Hello"
end mouseUp

and everything was selectable, copyable and pastable;
as was the script in the stack that had previously caused me trouble.

"Smelling a rat" I closed RunRev 4.0

restarted RunRev 4.0 and opened the stack that caused trouble; the 
script could not be selected;
tried this with some other stacks.

So . . . and this sounds 'well potty' . . .

it seems that if a new stack is started prior to opening existing stacks 
scripts are selectable;
but if pre-existing stacks are opened initially their scripts cannot be 
selected.

I am uploading my 'problem stack' so that you can use it to try and 
duplicate things;
you will see it contains 2 buttons and no backScripts:
