Description Marcus Zurhorst 2006-07-19 18:43:18 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Since latest Mandriva Cooker update, I cannot copy more lines than currently visible in my gnome-terminal.



Steps to reproduce:
1. I scroll to the very end of my gnome-terminal window.
2. I start marking terminal content with the mouse and pull upwards.
3. After some window scrolling (with pressed mouse to go on with marking), I stop marking content.
4. Now either Ctrl-C or right-hand-menu "copy"
5. Open favorite editor application and paste window content here
6. Compare pasted content with gnome-terminal window 


Actual results:
One will see, that only the last visible content got copied. 
The marking and scrolling has no effect any more, one cannot copy more than the visible area.

Expected results:
Before the update, I marked more than 2-3 scrolled pages (100+ lines?) and pressed Ctrl-C to copy everything to my editor.

Does this happen every time?
Yes, since latest update of VTE / Gnome-Terminal.
