Description israel 2021-04-20 15:26:49 UTC
SUMMARY
I understand "Copy to Clipboard" and the usefulness of it.
It would be nice to be able to select the text that is displayed one by one.
Then the user would not have to delete the information they do not want to send

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. try to select text such as "KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4"
2. look at the bottom of screen
3. find the copy button

OBSERVED RESULT
you cannot select the text

EXPECTED RESULT
you can select the text

Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.81.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.11.14-1-MANJARO

When do you not need to send it all?

This instance.  Does it matter if I am 64 bit?  Does my CPU information
matter to which Qt Widget you use?  Does my GPU matter?  Does
X11/Wayland matter?

In this "bug" the only real ones you need are KDE and Qt versions for
the nature of this specific bug.  Why send erroneous information?  I
would like you to use some other Qt widget so I can select the text. 
This information is not just for KDE people, what about on mailing lists
for specific distributions, or usage on forums?  Newbie users can use
this screen for all of the situations intuitively.

If you need a compromise, instead.  Make "Software" a button that copies
the software information.  Make "Hardware" a button that copies hardware
info, and then the bottom button can be "Copy All".

I still think making it intuitive is better.  People expect to be able
to select text.
