Tabbing into the static text lacks on visual indication (bug 127148) but is bad UX anyway. So we should introduce a button to copy the version info.

What does this button do? On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I clicked on the button then I pasted on gedit thinking it was copying version info in clipboard, it's not the case.

This is copied with the button: Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 1e906559ac0d10dae59a368d4c185bd6d5088a07 CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win; Locale: en-US (ru_RU); UI-Language: en-US Calc: CL
Indeed! I had tested middle click but I should have use Ctrl-V which works. Just for the record when opening about dialog, I see this on console: warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <metadata> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <rdf:RDF> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <cc:Work> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <dc:format> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <dc:type> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <dc:title> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <sodipodi:namedview> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <filter> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <feGaussianBlur> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <filter> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <feGaussianBlur> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <filter> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <feGaussianBlur> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <filter> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <feGaussianBlur> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <sodipodi:namedview> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <metadata> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <rdf:RDF> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <cc:Work> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <dc:format> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <dc:type> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <dc:title> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <dc:creator> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <cc:Agent> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <dc:title> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <dc:publisher> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <cc:Agent> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <dc:title> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <dc:description> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <cc:license> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <cc:License> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <cc:permits> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <cc:permits> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <cc:requires> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <cc:requires> (!) warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Unknown Base SvgToken <cc:permits> (!) but that's another story.
(In reply to Julien Nabet from comment #5) > warn:svgio:80776:80776:svgio/source/svgreader/svgdocumenthandler.cxx:408: Could manually remove some lines (run the SVG through svgio) but on the long term it's up to the SVG processor.
