Sourcetree: how do I view and copy the entire commit comment from the Description column?

A) I can't see all of the comment because if it is a multi-line comment, I can't expand the window wide enough to see everything.

B) I want to copy another user's branch commit comment so I can use it in an email.

FYI, we're using Sourcetree with hosted GIT (Assembla).

Instead of copying the commit comment from the Description column, you can copy the comment from the commit detail window :

Wow - I had the commit detail window set so short that I never saw the commit comment there.

Thanks.

I am also having this issue on my Mac, SourceTree v2.3.1. In the log view I can see the list of affected files but there is no commit detail (the section is entirely missing). On another Mac running the same SourceTree version I can see both the files and the commit detail. I have no idea how to get the commit detail back.
