GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 348038
Cannot mark and copy text larger than visible terminal area
Last modified: 2006-07-19 20:25:31 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. Other information: Bug reported in Mandriva Bugzilla, too: http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23688
Fixed it in CVS. Will be in GNOME devel release next week.
