Bug Description

(EDIT: this problem is actually related to the MATE Terminal bug, not to Tilix; it's described here: https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-terminal/issues/372)

When performing the "Select All" action (Ctrl+Shift+A), only the bottom part of the scrollback buffer, corresponding to the last (visible) screen, is selected, instead of the entire buffer.

To reproduce:

- tap Enter until the buffer is two screens long
- select all (Ctrl+Shift+A)
- via scrollbar, go to the top of the buffer
- you can observe that the selection stops at the top of the bottom screen

This wasn't happening on Focal.
