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@winehq.org ReportedBy: markhobley@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.
