Bug Description
Often times, after receiving a crash report, if I click the "Continue" button it doesn't launch the browser for me to submit my crash to launchpad.net.
Because of this, I'd always like to copy the crash report to my clipboard before clicking the continue button, so that I can manually provide this information into a bug report to launchpad.net.
However, this option is not available.
More over, there is absolutely *no way* to copy any text from this crash report's dialog window!
1) You cannot ctrl-a to select all.
2) Ctrl-c doesn't copy anything
3) Right-clicking doesn't produce a context menu where you can select "Copy".
This is an unfinished design. You should always give the user the ability to copy any text displayed in the UI.
Next to the "Show/Hide details" button, I suggest adding a "Copy to Clipboard" button. If not this, please offer some way to achieve this from the GUI.
