I have received a desktop notification stating that an application has stopped unexpectedly, am prompted to decide whether or not to send the details of this crash to the developers, which of course I will do, but I want to keep a .txt file of all of these details for me to look over later, learning the meaning of, improve my understanding of the Linux OS to put it in a general way.

It allows me to highlight particular detail fields, but ctrl+C does not copy the text to the clipboard, nor am I able to right click on it. If obtaining a text copy isn't possible, then I will just take screen shots but of course a .txt file will be much better.

Thanks in advance

This is an issue that's been reported since 2014: https://bugs.launchpad.net/apport/+bug/1273752 So, in essence, the tool does not allow copying, unfortunately.

For the time being, you can use tools like apport-unpack to extract useful information from the .crash file in /var/.

See for example this answer on how to do it.
