Forward-duplicating, because the other tickets has more votes and a proposed
patch.

Turns out this is not a trivial thing to achieve because the information is
displayed using several QLabels in a grid layout and you cannot select text
across more QLabels.
Simply printing all the info newline-separated in a single QLabel (like in
KAboutApplicationDialog) gets the selection to work, but you can't get such
nice centered alignment.
Using a QTableWidget also doesn't look right - different background colour,
etc.
Creating a special "copy info" button really might be overkill, also you don't
always need all the info.
So is the right solution to somehow use a single QLabel with formatting tags
(like in the "USB Devices" page)?

Just came here to report this. Plasma 5.11.5 / Frameworks 5.42.0 still don't
have the text selectable and it would still be a useful function.

I can confirm that this is an issue on Fedora 24

Preventing copy - leads to errors and reduces the chances of people finding
fixes for themselves.

Yes, having to retype this info is sad. A workaround is to bring up an app with
a Help >About {APP} menu item, e.g. Kate's  Help > About Kate > Version, in
which the text is often copyable.

FWIW, Firefox's about:support page (load that dummy URL in its location field)
has really nice [Copy raw data to clipboard] [Copy text to clipboard] buttons.
Probably overkill here.
