[Bug 16860] New: Facility to copy text from dialogue boxes by dragging mouse over
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16860 Summary: Facility to copy text from dialogue boxes by dragging mouse over Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: markhobley(a)yahoo.co.uk When a dialogue box displays a message, it is currently not possible to select the text for copy into another application, because dragging the mouse over the text has no effect. For example, this makes it extremely awkward to copy error messages containing long registry keys or multiple messages into an application, such as an editor, or into a browser search box for diagnostic purposes. Suggested fix is that dragging a mouse over dialogue text, highlights and copies to clipboard. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Wine has to emulate it all. You can't just replace a static text control with something else that allows text selection. Programs won't understand it and will most likely crash. Or mis-behave. This is a won't fix. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

MessageBox in Wine doesn't implement that. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

(Copy to the Unix clipboard, not the Windows one.) I am certain it is possible to fix this.
This is a won't fix.
Of course, we are at your mercy. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
