The text in error messages is kind of 'dead'. When we need it to report an issue, its a pain. Please make this text selectable and copyable.

    You may already know this, but (at least in Windows) when an error dialog has focus, Ctrl+C will copy the error text to the clipboard. The text in the dialog isn't individually selectable, but you can copy the whole thing this way.
