Bug#563410: Unable to copy text from popup dialogue boxes

[markhobley at yahoo.co.uk]

Package: iceape-browser
Version: 2.0.1-1
Severity: minor

It is not possible to copy text from popup boxes produced by the iceape
browser.

For example, the browser may pop up a dialogue box as follows:

Default Plugin

This page contains information of a type (application/x-shockwave-flash) that
can only be viewed with the appropriate Plug-in.

Click OK to download Plugin.


It should be possible to copy and paste error and dialogue messages for
the purposes of pasting the displayed text into a documentation search tool.

However, dragging the mouse over the text does not work and no text is selected
making it necessary to retype the contents of the dialogue boxes for the
purposes of producing a copy.

Mark.
