Public bug reported:

This is feature request. Allow copy text from warning.

For example I can't copy text from this warning "This report is about a
package that is not installed."
https://github.com/canonical/apport/blob/d3a721ec9607bf018e0dacba8e51e8cf312e6d1e/apport/ui.py#L1537

P.S. This is common problem in Ubuntu, more info
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libadwaita/-/issues/1105 I really can't
understand why it should be fixed in individual app source code and
can't be fixed from window manager view...
