- choose Help > About Eclipse Platform
- doubleclick on the build id number
- right-click on the selection, or try to open context menu via Shift-F10
-> expected: context menu with "copy" appears (as it e.g. does when invoked when
the error count in the JUnit view is selected)
-> was: no context menu

Patch adding a popup menu allowing to copy the selectable text of the dialog.

If nothing is selected, it copies the whole text ; else it copies only the current selection.
The popupmenu is visible and usable in every ProductInfoDialog (AboutFeaturesDialog, ...) ; not only in the AboutDialog...

Wow, I am still a jerk!  Go me!

I've decided not to use the provided patch - it's based on actions and we're trying not to introduce any more of those blighters into the workbench.  I've instead added a menu that contains the standard copy and select all commands.
