Cases that frustrate me:
1. In filing a bug report, I need to input the version number. For
Internet Explorer, I bring up the "About Internet Explorer" dialog box.
The version is (I kid you not) a 55 character string of random digits
and letters. I want to cut&paste this. Not possible.
2. I get a dialog box popping up with an error message in it. I want to
google the error message. Have to retype it.
You clearly are not using the right operating system ;). On OS X I can
copy text from all native dialogs.
3. Thunderbird Mail lets me import/export the address book. But not
account settings. So I want to select and copy the account settings
dialog box. Nope.
Can't you copy the editable text fields? Or do you want to copy the
labels as well?
Can't you copy the whole profile directory?
Really, what's the case for not supporting this? Am I really a unique
snowflake?
No, not at all.
