Is there a button after "Version:" in your Help > About LibreOffice dialog?  Press that button and the version information text will be copied to the system clipboard.

Comment 2 Paolo Benvenuto 2021-09-02 22:07:23 UTC

yes, I see the copy button.

Then, the bug would be that the button, with only an icon, isn't so much understandable.

A "copy to clipboard" text would be better

It's not "only an icon", there is a tooltip that explains what it does if you hover your mouse cursor over the button.

But sure, let's change summary accordingly and see what the developers say.

If I remember right the button was realized without the label intentionally

Anyway let's ask UX-team

Comment 5 Heiko Tietze 2022-08-29 10:02:11 UTC

Generally, we should not clutter the UI with useless information and "Copy version number" is rather a "developer tool", easy to find anyway. But no strong objection from my side.

Comment 6 Heiko Tietze 2022-09-01 06:53:56 UTC

We discussed this topic in the design meeting. The button is intentionally icon-only to not distract and to save space. A tooltip tells the user what purpose the button has, if the copy icon is unclear. So no need to change => WF.
