Textsize of label of copied btn changes

[J. Landman Gay]

If the text properties in the property inspector are italic, they are 
inheriting from another control with a lower layer, or inheriting from the 
IDE itself. If the property is not italic, it's been set specifically on 
the control.

Regardless, there will always be a number in the text size.
