Bug #25142	"Copy active page as text ..." on more pages

Description:
I would like the menu-option "Copy active page as text ..." (in the File-menu) to be active on more (tab)pages.  (If it is only active for "Server Information", you might as well make it a button on that page, in stead of a general menu-option.)

It would have two copy-advantages:
 - it is easier to write instructions for (my) users
 - it is easier to report (and check!) settings to MySQL when encountering bugs

One could easily copy most texts, where text or numeric values could be quoted or bracketed, e.g. [40] and [OFF] or "40" and "OFF".  Checkboxes could for example be [+] and [-] or [v] and [_] (no [x], this may be confused as both checked or absent).  Graphs are replaced by a placeholder, e.g. [figure].

How to repeat:
Try the menu-option "Copy active page as text ..." on any page.

Suggested fix:
Make the menu-option "Copy active page as text ..." active on more pages.

Thank you for a reasonable feature request.

Many thanks for writing a bug report. We are on the way to implement full functionality of MySQL Administrator into MySQL Workbench. We won't add this feature request anymore.
