I've noticed select/copy/paste does not work\nas expected when there is a lot of scrollback. It works, but it takes\nminutes to select the text and copy from the terminal.\n\nFor example, clear the terminal with 'reset', then build Git from\nsources. There will be a lot of scrollback, on the order of several\nthousand lines. Then, Right Click -> Select All. It will take a couple\nof minutes to select all of the text. Right Click again, and then\nCopy. It will take a couple of minutes to copy all of the text.\n\nThis has been going on for years. Cygwin terminals on the same machine are OK.\n\nJeff\n"}]}
