nice alert dialog, but I can't select and copy any of its text :(

Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. open a document with images (mine was an HTML document with images, one
align="right" in HTML).
2. File > Export as PDF...
3. Export as PDF/A-1a (the default)

Current behavior:

LibreOffice Writer may display a helpful dialog during Export as PDF:
  Problems during PDF export
  During PDF export the following problems occurred:
  Transparencies removed
  Some objects were converted to an image in order to remove transparencies,
because the target PDF... (four more lines of text, see attachment).

but I can't select and copy any of this text.  That makes it miserable to make
a note of the problem to fix later, or to search for support on the problem, or
as you can see here to file a bug report ;-).

Expected behavior:
Browsers have taught users that all text is ordinarily selectable and copyable.
Don't let us down and make us mistype text already on the screen.

This specific alert bothered me, but I assume this is a general issue with
LibreOffice dialogs; if so the bug should be reassigned to something like
"Component UI"? I think LO in Kubuntu uses GTK dialogs.

Platform (if different from the browser): Kubuntu 12.04 amd64

Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:13.0) Gecko/20120522 Firefox/13.0
SeaMonkey/2.10
