The dialog box itself is not an edit box, and copy simply does not work. (Just 
tried it again.) You cannot copy ANY text from it, even the highlighted text.

This really blows when you've got a message window with an error message in it, 
and you cannot copy it to google it. You cannot copy the "About" dialog box 
text, either, so you have to painfully type in the version/build number when 
filing a bug report.

Unbelievable.
