When AllowMultiRowSelection is set to True, then it is not possible to select parts of the text from that grid (e. g. for copy/paste) when dragging the mouse over the required text. This behaviour can be seen in your online demo http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/client/selecting/defaultcs.aspx. Maybe this is by design, because instead of selecting text you can select multiple rows with the mouse.

Bur I have a scenario where the user can select multiple rows by checking a checkbox in each row, so I don't need the ability to select rows using the mouse. Is it possible to configure he grid in a way that the user can select certain parts of the text?

[EDITED 2013-03-25:]
For those with the same problem: I just found the related post How to select cell value to clipboard?, where an answer is provided.

To answer my own question: Set EnableDragToSelectRows="false"; see http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/grid/select-row-only-by-checkbox.aspx
