Public bug reported:
Impact
------
GNOME Console 43 has switched to GTK4 and the final line of text isn't being
copied. If there is only one line you are trying to copy, the clipboard is
apparently empty.
Test Case
---------
Install the updated vte packages and gnome-console.
Run the Console app.
Run this command:
cat /etc/os-release
Copy a selection that includes the end of the line. One easy way to do
this is to triple-click the line. Then right-click and choose Copy.
Then right-click and choose Paste.
All the lines should be pasted including the final line.
What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
This is a one line fix that modifies a function
(vte_terminal_get_text_selected) that is only used by GNOME Builder and GNOME
Console. (GNOME Builder is affected by the same bug).
Neither GNOME Builder nor GNOME Console are included by default in any
Ubuntu flavor. GNOME Console may replace GNOME Terminal as the default
terminal app for Ubuntu Desktop in a future Ubuntu release. This bug was
a blocker for that happening.
