Active renderer

this bug is about that I want you to make this copypasteable so that it would be easier to file a bugreport -- 4.6 / opengl3 / SDL 2.32.62 (COMPAT)

Summary

user story: when I want to file a bugreport you want me to provide "Active renderer -- You can find this in the "About" tab in the main menu."
now I'm unable to copypaste that, meaning when I report a bug I need to manually copy that. I think everyone's life would be easier if user were able to copy that string
or maybe incorportate it into luanti --version so that there would be one less question to be answered

Steps to reproduce

1. launch luanti
2. click about tab
3. try to copy that in the bottom left corner of the dialog

Should be easy enough to do using a read-only textarea[], unless there's some detail I'm missing which makes that suck.

Currently it's... a borderless button x)

relevant code:

luanti/builtin/mainmenu/tab_about.lua

Lines 92 to 96 in 73aba2e

	local active_renderer_info = fgettext("Active renderer:") .. "\n" ..
	core.formspec_escape(get_renderer_info())
	fs = fs .. "style[label_button2;border=false]" ..
	"button[0.1,6;5.3,1;label_button2;" .. active_renderer_info .. "]"..
	"tooltip[label_button2;" .. active_renderer_info .. "]"

improving this was discussed in #16920

It's rather easy to center text using hypertext[]. Using borderless buttons is very hacky lol

[appgurueu]

Indeed. However, I don't think hypertext[] lets you select text?

[...] unless there's some detail I'm missing which makes that suck.

The only downside is that it will be focusable although it is static text.
Fixed in #16980.

However, I don't think hypertext[] lets you select text?

Yes, it doesn't allow you to select text.

Currently, there are only two options: have the text selectable or centered. There doesn't seem to be an option for both.
