Description David Maciver 2006-02-10 12:43:23 CET 
It would be useful to be able to select some text in the terminal and then drag
it anywhere that supports dnd. This would be similar to what happens in apps
like gedit/firefox. It could be an option to remain compatible with the normal
behaviour.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:  
Draging a selection starts a new selection

Expected Results:  
Select text
Drag selection to other window
Causes dnd behaviour

Cool idea, althoug I think this should be filed against VTE.

Anyone?

Selections in the terminal work a bit different and since there is no clean way to get the selection during a drag start, I'm closing this bug.
