Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.0.1-2
Severity: normal
Most X applications with text entry, especially terminal emulators,
support copying (for c&p) like this: left click (or double/triple
click or drag) starts a selection, subsequent right clicks extend it.
gnome-terminal 1.x supported this fine if in "selection mode", and
showed the menu otherwise. Since some time (probably the
1.x => 2.x transition), it does no longer work.
I vote for reinstatement of the old policy: right click extends a
selection if the selection is "active", else it pops up the menu.
Some-modifier + right click always pops up the menu.
