Description

In the Brave Flatpak installation, Brave shows an error dialog telling me to give access for specific paths to the Brave browser. But none of the text in the dialog is select-able. It would be more convenient if I could copy and paste text from the dialog.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Visit https://andisearch.com/
  2. In the right side of the URL bar, click "Install Andi"

Actual result:

A dialog pops up that says,

This Flatpak does not have write access to ~/.local/share/

applications and ~/.local/share/icons, so it cannot install or
uninstall PWAs.

Once you grant access to those two directories (Flatseal is the

easiest method), you can attempt to re-create the shortcuts
from chrome://apps.

But none of the text in the dialog is select-able. In other words, I cannot copy and paste any of the text. This is inconvenient because there are specific paths that I need to give access to Brave in Flatseal. I actually retrieved this text by taking a screenshot and then feeding the screenshot to TextSnatcher.

Expected result:

The text in the dialog is possible to select and copy/paste.

Reproduces how often:
