           Summary: It should be possible to read boilerplate texts
                    without copypasting them into another
                    applicationaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

MediaViewer provides a bunch of boilerplate texts in its share/download/embed
panels. It is currently impossible to read this texts without copying them into
another application (such as a text editor): the textboxes are very small and
only show the first few characters, and they get automatically refocused and
keypresses are captured by other handlers and used for global behavior (such as
prev/next), so really to only way to scroll the text is having a touchpad. This
is annoying for the experienced user, and makes it harder for the inexperienced
one to understand the purpose of the text.

While most of these design decisions were taken in order to maximize the ease
of copying the text, and that is a worthwhile goal, there should be a way to
just read the text. Maybe the textbox could expand when selected...
