Thanks for reporting. This should be improved in the latest development 
version (Oct. 23 or later). Your use case should work now (although 
saving completely without any extension (e.g., just "MM3" still doesn't 
seem to work).

Unfortunately, I did not find an easy way to accomplish this. The 
"About" dialog uses a standard Qt dialog, the text in which does not 
seem to be copyable on Windows (although it is copyable on both (Ubuntu) 
Linux and macOS). As a workaround, you could use "Help > Email to 
mailing list" (provided you have an emaili client configured) to get 
access to pretty much the same data (and more) in editable format.

HTH,
Stefan
