Description
Feature Request
It's currently not possible to select and copy text in the Disassembly View.
This is often relevant when writing bug reports in particularly gnarly scenarios involving third party code.
Currently, I routinely have to launch up Visual Studio to do that.
It doesn't have to allow for arbitrary selections; i.e. it would be fine if the granularity of the selection was limited to whole instructions.

Research direction
Start by locating the Disassembly View entry point and reading how its instruction display handles user interaction. Check for existing interaction or UI tests before implementing selection and copying; done means users can select and copy whole instructions from the view for use in bug reports.
