Currently, when you get a failure message - e.g. a package update failure message - you cannot select and copy the text in the dialog. That is inconvenient, and particularly troublesome for getting support: Both in order to search for relevant substrings, and to provide the error message text to a supporting person.

@eyalroz The message text inside the message dialog can be copied with the standard windows key short cut Ctrl+C.
/cc @gep13 Is this good enough or should we add a button or context menu to allow that?

@punker76 : But Ctrl+C copies the selection, and I'm complaining about non-selectability. Maybe I'm missing something?

@eyalroz You can use Ctrl+C without selecting any text after the dialog came up.

@eyalroz Here is an example. If you use Ctrl+C when this message dialog came up you will get the same in the clipboard.

Ok... I guess it's the intuition of "if you can't select it, you can't copy it".

@eyalroz This functionality comes with MahApps itself. I'm with you that we should make this message dialog a little bit better to help users.

@punker76 : "MahApps"? You mean, this?

Anyway, an effective, if not super-elegant improvement AFAIK is adding another button near 'OK' which says 'Copy Message'.

It would also not hurt if files and URLs would be "linkified", so that clicking them would open a viewer or editor.
