Issue type

UI bug

Bug description

There is no current way for a screen reader to access the info in this dialogue box. It would be ideal if it not only read, but could be arrowed around to read character by character and selected/copied.

Steps to reproduce
  1. From the Help menu choose About.
    The About dialog appears.

Expected behaviour: The text in the About dialog should be read

Actual behaviour: the title of the About dialog is read.

Suggested fix: make the text in the About dialog a read-only edit box. Add OK(or Close) button. Make both tabbable objects.
