Make copying LMMS' version info easy (easier) by adding text highlighting #7464

Enhancement Summary

Copying the version is required for bug reports but not intuitive.

Implementation Details / Mockup

Right-clicking the version text, selecting "Select all", then right clicking again and selecting "copy" allows to copy the version info. The text does not get highlighted while doing so.

lmms version copying

It is very convenient this is possible but not very intuitive when used to

  1. being able to double- or triple-click text to select it/the whole line
  2. selected text being noticeably highlighted

GIMP, Audacity and Shotcut are examples of software that fulfill the above: GIMP/Audacity version selecting Shotcut version selecting

Actually, having tested it a little more, I think selecting/tripleclicking actually works but the lack of highlighting convinced me they don't.

So this is a request then to add noticeable text highlighting for the version info text.

Or add a button that copies info directly to buffer ?
