Bug Description

Sometimes when there is a crash I want to quickly paste it to someone. But the apport crash detail window, while it allows me to select some entries, it doesn't allow me to copy and then paste them somewhere else, like pastebin.

So I actually have to take a screenshot (!) of the thing and upload it somewhere so that I can show the backtrace to someone. And if I wanted to show more details, I would need to scroll the window to the area of interest and take another screenshot.

#968236 has been marked as dupe of this bug, but that one included also another issue that is not mentioned here: lack of information about the reported bug.
Is that treated in another report? If so, which one?
