Bug Description

It'd be really helpful if one was able to copy stacktraces from the `apport-gtk` dialog. I guess, the function is useful for all other parts of the report displayed in the dialog as well.

I am currently having this issue on the below release.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal

The system dialog for any crash report does not allow me to copy the text from within the dialog box. Nothing works; no right click context menu option, no ctrl + c, no ctrl + a, nothing.
