[QGIS-Developer] Unabbreviated expression evaluation preview?

[Johannes Kröger (WhereGroup)]

Nice, I actually had the same thought of a "copy" icon because a text 
area would look super messy. I'll make two feature request for this 
later: 1) Copy to clipboard and 2) "Show full value" or something to 
open a dialog with the whole mess

Cheers
Hannes
