Rationale: The preview is a huge wall of text. Search seems necessary for meaningful review by users. And copy seems relevant so that users may keep a record of what they sent to Google.

+weifangsun@ as the owner PM of the Feedback app. Making the contents of the System Info window copy-able can be done if it's OK from a privacy standpoint +glevin. However, adding a search bar is a UI change and although it can be done now, it'd be better to incorporate it with a future redesign of the app UI.

Personally, I think this is a privacy improvement.  The current "wall of text" is near impenetrable to the average user.  The ability to search or copy the text would make the info much more usable, and help users better discern what we're sending in feedback reports.  Also, tnagel@ has a lot of privacy wisdom, so generally if he requests it, it's probably okay privacy-wise :-)

Thanks Ahmed and Greg! :)

I think restoring copy functionality (ideally in conjunction with "select all", i.e. Ctrl+A Ctrl+C) would go a long way. It remember being able to copy the contents a while back.

You can copy and search the contents if you go to chrome://system. The contents are essentially the same, although the feedback info may contain a bit more data, and its contents are scrubbed of any PII.

Thanks! A user might be explicitly interested in observing the effect of that scrubbing...

The contents are now selectable and copyable on ToT.

Thanks a lot! I guess it makes sense to keep the bug open for the remaining search part?

Yes, agreed.
