Bug Description

I want to seek help over the Internet about a warning that GParted is displaying in the Information window, but there is no way for me to copy and paste it to share it with others or document it in my troubleshooting notes. Some text in this window is selectable, but nothing happens when I click and drag over the warning text.

A screenshot of the affected window is attached.
