Skype usability on OSX

In Skype on OSX, the contact information window doesn’t allow you to copy fields to the clipboard. If you want to put one of your contacts mobile phone numbers into another application, like your address book, you have to manually type them. But the information window is only visible if Skype is the active application. Once you click another window, the information window vanishes.

This means that you have to memorize the phone number in order to type it in as you can’t see it on the screen when you’re adding it to the address book. This is just poor usability on Skype’s part.
