Select All not working correctly in Linux Mint-21.x about roxterm

Anyway, the change in behaviour is caused by VTE. https://gitlab.gnome.org/search?search=vte_terminal_select_all&nav_source=navbar&project_id=1893&group_id=8&scope=issues. It's supposed to be a temporary hack to prevent a crash in gnome-terminal, but they've failed to fix the issue in a reasonable time.

There is a function to write the entire buffer to a (file) stream, so I could support that in ROXTerm. I'm quite busy at the moment though, so it might take a while before I can get around to it.

Damn, I knew it moved to GitHub, I went here because I looked up my old ticket about "select all" and this is where it was. ... Re-created here.

As always, thanks for the quick reply and awesome tool.

Looks like the builds have worked this time, except on bionic, whose CMake is too old, I think. The actual publishing is still pending though.

I think that comment was for #150. I have now gotten 3.13.1 from Jammy PPA. I haven't tested it yet because I am in the middle of things. I'll get to it Real Soon Now, though some folks at work might beat me to it.
