#787 MinGW Terminal hangs during Select and Copy

[Jeffrey Walton]

I have a terminal with a lot of scrollback history in it. It has maybe 5000 or 10000 lines. I am trying to select it and copy it so I can paste it into Notepad++.

When I right click and Select the terminal hangs. Depending on how much history, it takes 15 seconds to a minute to select all the text. During this time I get the "Not Responding" errors from Windows, pin-wheeling and a greyed out window.

It is so bad I cannot even take a screen capture of the window for this bug report.

This has been happening for the longest time. At least a year or so.

It would be nice if select/copy/paste was fixed.
