In the top pane of the debugger, I think it should copy whatever is selected like any normal copy. If the copy morph function is required, it should be renamed to more closely reflect what it does.

"mail out bug report" should be changed to reflect more closely what it does. It does not 'mail out' but only creates an email with the bug report as text.
