Copy the extra information lines from *Org Agenda*

Question

It's somehow strange.
In the *Org Agenda* you can get extra information with v c (time gaps) or v E (some entry text).
What I want is just to copy the extra information (text lines) with the rest of the text, so just to copy all the text from the *Org Agenda* buffer -- nothing else.
I have tried org-copy-visible or even C-x C-w; org ignores the extra information and doesn't copy them.
C-x h also ignores the extra information lines.
How can I copy the whole buffer text?

Although it's an extra step, you might have a look at Overlays to text.
In your example, using that function by typing M-x overlays-to-text successfully copies all visible text, including the extra lines from v E and the time gap information from v c.
The function places all that text in a new buffer.  You can select anything you want from the resulting buffer.
