Users Can Delete Displayed Text

[Kariyan126]

Description: I noticed that in the current version of Mediainfo, users are able to delete or modify the text displayed on the interface. This issue seems to allow unintended changes to the information presented, which could lead to confusion or errors in interpreting the data.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open Mediainfo.

Load a media file for which information is displayed.

Try to interact with the displayed text (e.g., by clicking or highlighting it).

Notice that the text can be deleted or changed.

Expected Behavior: The displayed text should be non-editable and should not allow users to make changes directly.

Actual Behavior: Users can delete or modify the displayed text, leading to potential issues in interpreting media information.

Environment:

Operating System: Windows11

Mediainfo Version: 25.3

I agree that editable text output is a bug. I have fixed that previously but had to revert it because @JeromeMartinez says there are users who want it to be editable. I cannot think of any need for it to be editable.

Even the About window text is editable: #1012

This is the code with working ctrl+A and read-only text view: https://github.com/MediaArea/MediaInfo/tree/9683c06865dbef6495cf834bb1527073777bb2d0/Source/GUI/VCL

users are able to delete or modify the text displayed on the interface.

Some users complained that it is not editable when it was non editable, so the choice was to let it editable. We could have an option for that (editable vs not editable), but it would be yet another option.
