 Replying to [comment:57 sysrqb]:
 > Oh, another bug. During bootstrapping the log text should be selectable
 (and copyable).

 > One other UX issue I noticed while testing this is I swipe between the
 main bootstrapping screen and the log screen - in particular when Tor
 takes a long time to bootstrap - and after tor finishes bootstrapping and
 the browser is shown I still try swiping to the left so I can see the tor
 logs. I

 Yes, I know that feeling. :)

 > wonder if this is a feature we want in the future? I don't know if users
 need easy access to the tor logs like this and I'm a little worried this
 could interfere with some website functionality if we aren't careful, but
 maybe this could be used for displaying the site-specific tor circuit and
 tor logs(?). Just a thought.

 Hm. I think we need to come up with some instructions/ideas for users
 giving us log information to debug problems, yes. For desktop we have the
 option to tell Tor Launcher/Torbutton to do so and output the result at
 least in the browser console on all three platforms. This is not possible
 for mobile. What is the general model for Android apps in that regard (I
 assume other apps have similar requirements)? We probably want to follow
 that then. I don't mind making the site-specific circuit available in the
 log or easily accessible. We can think about that. But that should not
 replace our plan in #25764.
