Cannot copy lines with checkmark []

[dotancohen]

How to reproduce:
Enter on a line:
[] Hello, world!<enter>

Now you should be at the beginning of a new [] line. Hold Shift and press UpArrow. Press Ctrl-C. Nothing is copied, as evidenced by pressing Ctrl-V either in Zim or elsewhere.

The routine to serialize the buffer goes wrong for this case causing data on the clipboard that can not be parsed back.

In Zim 0.56 you can copy task lines if the beginning and end of the selection is not a task line. So work-arounds include:

1) CTRL-A, CTRL-C
2) Select from a non-task line to a non-task line, with the task(s) in the middle
