Public bug reported:

If you click the "Show details" button in synaptic during an update, you
can see the details displayed in a text window. The text can be
highlighted by click dragging the mouse. But you cannot copy any of the
text. If you try to copy and paste any text using Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V, you
will get nothing copied or pasted.

Either the text should not be able to be highlighted in the first place, or the 
text that is highlighted should be copyable into the clipboard. Either way, it 
looks like a bug.
 
This bug exists in synaptic-0.75.2ubuntu8 in Oneiric amd64, and has existed for 
several years in previous versions of synaptic at least as far back as Hardy's.
