Description

i was editing a bug report to debian with reportbug utility in xfce4-terminal 0.8.7.4, i seleced nano editor to write, and i wanted to copy text from nano to mousepad, but ctrl+shift+c did not work, and copy menu in terminal menu is grayed out. now, i opened nano again to check context menu, and i see copy menu there is also grayed out. alt+shift+a, alt+shift+6 method as described in https://askubuntu.com/q/833102 does not work.

i can also copy system information from the debian bug report i mentioned: -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686)

i see there is another bug report https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14570 , but it is with much older version, and copying any text, in my case, i can copy outputs of commands, but cannot from nano... now, i have tried less and vi, and i can select with mouse and copy with mouse right click menu there.

Version: 0.8.7.4
