Dear Maintainer,

I noticed the setting for "Automatically copy selection to clipboard" in the
Preferences. I thought, that's cool, like Putty does. But it doesn't work quite
as reliably as you'd like.

Within a given program (e.g. less), it puts whatever you highlight on the
clipboard and that can be pasted another place in the program, or to another
window.

The only issue is if you want to close that program, then open another one or
another instance of the same one, and use the copied material. It has
evaporated. I determined the point it evaporates is when the program exits.

Even more curious, sometimes rather than evaporating, another bit of text (the
same length, and from the same columns) from the scrollback of the terminal
will get substituted on the clipboard when quitting.

I turned it off for now and went back to Ctrl-Shift-C, Ctrl-Shift-V.
