This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
One often needs to copy/paste the text of an error message into email or a bug report. Yet the text which is put up by DialogDisplayer.notify() is not selectable. One has to resort to transcribing the error message with possible typos etc. Please change the implementation of (I think it is) DialogDisplayer.notify() so any displayed text is select and Copy'able.
Right-click in the message window opens 'Copy to clipboard' popup menu.
