Description Martin Thomas 2016-01-29 00:14:22 UTC

I would like to be able to use the mouse to select text from a package description and copy it to the clipboard. 
It is possible to do this with the 'File List', 'Depends On' and 'Required By' lists.

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

The problem still persists. 
I - and maybe many other people - now use Synaptic instead of apper as it has a far better interface, so fixing the problem is probably not very important.

This project is unfortunately no longer maintained.

If a new maintainer wants to step up and take care, the project is archived here:

https://invent.kde.org/system/apper

You can just clone it in your private namespace on invent.kde.org and if you have started to work on it and fixed/implemented something get it reviewed and the project unarchived.

Sorry for the inconveniences.
