266239 - "about calendar" text should be selectable (copyable)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, defect)

Description

[Jamie Zawinski]

When I select "About Calendar" from the help menu, the window which comes up
does not let me select text.  That means that when I'm reporting a bug (like
this one) I have to actually type in the long version number of the calendar
component, because I can't just copy and paste it.

Calendar 2004092412
Mozilla 1.7.3
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040922

On Windows I can press Tab or click the background to move cursor focus to the
text, then press Ctrl-A to select all the text, then Ctrl-C to copy it.  Perhaps
this will work on Linux too.

There is no visual indication that the text can be selected, and I cannot select
parts of it with the mouse.  It would be good to have these enhancements.

On linux, I can tab through the HREFs in the About dialog, but C-a does not
select the text.

This appears to be fixed in Sunbird 0.2 on Linux: I can select the version text
and then paste it elsewhere.  I have not tried the Mozilla/Firefox calendar plugins.

(However, as soon as I move the mouse out of the About window, the text appears
to be de-highlighted, which is wrong.  But Mozilla/Firefox share this
perma-lossage, e.g. bug 103564 and bug 134586 from 2001.)
