In the process of trying to get information for another issue, I noticed that if I try to click-drag to select the text in the About|Hardware information, it instead selects the text below the box instead of scrolling to let me grab the contents of the box. I had to maximize the window, copy and paste it into a text editor, scroll down, and repeat to get the contents.

Ideally, a copy button would be awesome there. So would Control-A.

I don't know if it is my machine, but selecting in that box doesn't change the background of the text, just the foreground from gray to white. Makes it a bit hard to see with my broken eyes when I've selected something.

Right click then click "select all". Right click again and click copy ;)

Although I agree that a copy button would be nice to have!
