@CAM-Gerlach, fine by me if you want to work on this one. However, the Dependencies dialog has a Copy to clipboard button that allows to paste deps here.

OK, I’ve managed to reproduce it! This is somewhat related to the Qt windows style.

I’m able to select the text when using the Fusion style, while I am not when using the WindowsVista style.
