SUMMARY: Text in the kinfocenter "System Information" tab (and other tabs for that matter) should be selectable. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open kinfocenter->System Information 2. Attempt to select text with the mouse OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens. EXPECTED RESULT Text is selected (and can be copied). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Wouldn't it be much easier to just copy the KDE Plasma info from the "System Information" tab and paste it here?
Does the "Copy to Clipboard" button not provide the functionality you need? Following is obtained using it: Operating System: KDE neon 5.22 KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.8.0-59-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 2 × AMD A6-6400K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics Memory: 7.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD CEDAR
Paul W. is correct (thanks Paul), but the action is not obvious. You have to notice "Copy to Clipboard", consider what it would do (copy *what* to clipboard), then try it out. If you want a selection, say only the kernel version, you have to "Copy to Clipboard", paste into an editor, then select what you want. There are other pages from which you might want to copy (say about the graphics system); none of has has a "Copy to Clipboard" button.
