<p class="MsoPlainText">Not to hijack the thread, but that had me thinking about the current Bug report template on GitHub. At
<i>**QGIS and OS versions**</i>, it's written <i><!-- In the QGIS Help menu -> About, click in the table, Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+C. Finally paste here -->.</i> However when doing this, the about info is simply pasted line by line which make it long and less readable.
Instead, could a <i>Copy info</i> button be added on the about window that copy the info in the clipboard as a nice markdown table ready to paste?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">From a user-point-of-view I thought the "Copy Report" would contain enough information needed to fix the issue. Knowing that you will skip reports/bugs that can't be reproduced within <5 minutes, I would suggest to change the text of
the QGIS-crashed dialog to reflect that. Right now the text is "Include as much information as you can as well as steps to reproduce the issue if possible" - it would be better if the text would say something like "if you can reproduce..." or "if you can provide
sample data that crashes..." or "if this crash occured more than once...". You could also remove the "Tell us something about when you got the crash." because it is both above the input field and in the input field - this way you have more room to explain
what a helpful report is for you developers. This might help to save time for the developer and the user.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Even if you don't change anything I'm thankful for your answer, because now I know when to report and when not, which saves me precious time!<o:p></o:p></p>
