Mouse text selection has unexpected behavior in terminal #1210
Description
Thanks for this amazing project.
Mouse text selection has these issues:
• Can't select text beyond viewport (no scrolling while selecting)
• Selection immediately copies to clipboard on release
• Mouse coordinates don't account for scroll position
These behaviors differ from standard terminal applications like vim, tmux, and less.
Fixed in #1209

Just came here to agree: copy and paste operations should use standard system paradigm: click-drag to select a region, double-click to select a word, triple-click to select a line; control-C or command-C to copy to system clipboard. It's a slight but very real cognitive load issue.
Thanks for this great project, it rocks!

This should be improved in the latest version. It still copies on mouse release, but that will change soon. In the textarea you can however select text with shift+arrow keys.
