Bug Description

The label in the "About" dialog in the "Help" menu contains non-selectable labels with text which can't be copied. That makes life harder for no reason because being able to copy the text doesn't have any disadvantage. Only the center label with the link to the homepage can be selected. All other information is interesting as well.

Hello Karl-Philipp,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with selectable text on the help window of synaptic. You made this bug report some time ago and Ubuntu has been updated since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you let us know, and in the current version, run the following (only once):
apport-collect BUGNUMBER
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
