Maybe I am missing something, but in both Ubuntu and Lubuntu, for me,
triple-click Ctrl-C selects and then copies the command.  Triple-click,
click on Edit, click on Copy (in Firefox; in Chromium, that becomes
triple-click, click on the wrench, click on Copy) also works for me.

Alternatively, I can also click somewhere above the box containing the
command, to the right of "Code:" and then drag down a short distance to
below the box enclosing the code, but above the "Things of particular
note are:" text.  The entire command is highlighted.  No great precision
of mouse pointing is needed for this, and there is definitely no need to
drag all the way to the right end of the long shell command. Drag down a
little, instead of right a lot.

Are these two approaches both inadequate for your needs?  If so, can you
please explain why?
