Bug Description
When using the "Copy" option from the context menu in terminator, the text which gets copied is only that text which the mouse was *dragged* over. If, on the other hand, you single-click at one point, and then SHIFT-click at another point to select a range of text, the "Copy" option does not copy the selection.

I can reproduce this in GNOME Terminal, which means it's almost certainly a bug in the terminal widget we share with them - VTE. I've added an upstream task to this bug for that, but I haven't filed the bug in VTE's bugtracker (the GNOME Bugzilla).
