[Bug 812471] [NEW] cannot copy text from the terminal inside package installer

[matteo sisti sette]

Public bug reported:

When you install a deb package with the package installer and click the
arrow next to "terminal" you can see the terminal window.

You can select text from the terminal window but you can't copy it and
paste into other applications in the usual ways. Right-clicking doesn't
show any context menu with any "copy" option, and ctrl+C doesn't work
either.

The workaround is to select the text and use the center button of the
mouse to paste, but the usual way of copying/pasting should be made
available.
