Title:
  Can't Copy Crash Report Details to Clipboard

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Often times, after receiving a crash report, if I click the "Continue"
  button it doesn't launch the browser for me to submit my crash to
  launchpad.net.

  Because of this, I'd always like to copy the crash report to my
  clipboard before clicking the continue button, so that I can manually
  provide this information into a bug report to launchpad.net.

  However, this option is not available.

  More over, there is absolutely *no way* to copy any text from this
  crash report's dialog window!

  1) You cannot ctrl-a to select all.
  2) Ctrl-c doesn't copy anything
  3) Right-clicking doesn't produce a context menu where you can select "Copy".

  This is an unfinished design. You should always give the user the
  ability to copy any text displayed in the UI.

  Next to the "Show/Hide details" button, I suggest adding a "Copy to
  Clipboard" button. If not this, please offer some way to achieve this
  from the GUI.
