Description Ivan D Vasin 2012-04-19 20:57:28 UTC

if signing in to Google Docs fails, the sign-in dialog displays an error message.  however, the error message text cannot be selected.  thus, copying the message somewhere else (such as a bug report) requires manual copying, which is awkward and error-prone.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. navigate to "File --> Google Online Document...".
2. produce an error in the sign-in process.  for example, enter incorrect Google account credentials.
3. attempt to select the error message text.
Actual Results:  
the drag operation moves the sign-in dialog.

Expected Results:  
the drag operation selects the error message text.

Agreed.  This is reasonable.

As a side note, I think this is a pretty easy bug to fix so I'm going to make it a Junior Job. Hopefully somebody who wants to get into calligra programming takes it up. :)
