When I highlight text from a past message (either sent or received) Ctrl+C is not working. The bug is reproducible in all themes.
Both Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V combinations are working in the edit area.
Right-click an selecting Copy does work, but it's a painful process.

Empathy is great, but I find this issue very annoying and a major usability problem.

Please fix it. Thank you!
