Feature suggestion - select all capability in Variable display window in the graphical debugger

I’m using: SWI-Prolog version 8.1.9.

One of my favorite windows in the graphical debugger is the Variable display window; the window the pops up when you double-click any variable in the Variable pane that is part of the debugger window.

I frequently have large lists associated with certain variables. I like to pop up the Variable display window and capture the entire contents of the variable for inspection in an editor. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a button or right-click context menu choice that selects all the text in that window so you can copy it to the clipboard.

Instead, I have to click the mouse in the top of that window and while holding down the SHIFT key, scroll down for a long while as I highlight all the text in the window. If there were a select all option somewhere that would be a big help.

For me, positioning the cursor to top left corner, then Ctrl+Shift+End works to select the entire content.
Isn’t working for you?
