The Information shown in the About System is not selectable, so sharing of this info is difficult. The information displayed should be make selectable so that it can be copy-pasted/shared elsewhere. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open about system from kickoff or run "kcmshell5 about-distro" from konsole 2. Try selecting the text shown as information there 3. Actual Results: Text not selectable and cannot be copied to clipboard Expected Results: The information shown as text should be selectable so that it can be copied to clipboard their by able to paste/share wherever needed easily.
I think this would be super useful for people reporting their Plasma versions and Kernel versions.
+1. Dialogs where text is not selectable lose half their value. Please make that happen.
Yes, having to retype this info is sad. A workaround is to bring up an app with a Help >About {APP} menu item, e.g. Kate's Help > About Kate > Version, in which the text is often copyable. FWIW, Firefox's about:support page (load that dummy URL in its location field) has really nice [Copy raw data to clipboard] [Copy text to clipboard] buttons. Probably overkill here.
I can confirm that this is an issue on Fedora 24 Preventing copy - leads to errors and reduces the chances of people finding fixes for themselves.
