1 month ago Hi @tankist-git-2. Thanks for taking the time to submit an issue.
I see we already have previous reports about this:
When I use Ctrl+A combination (Serial Monitor window in focus) code text is selected only (no selection on Serial Monitor window).

When I try to select the text with a mouse there is another trouble: while scrolling during selection the part of selected text unselected itself.

It is best to have only a single issue per subject so we can consolidate all relevant discussion to one place, so I'll go ahead and close this in favor of the others.
In the future, please take the time to search the issue tracker for existing issues before submitting one. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Describe the problem
It is often necessary to copy text from Serial Monitor window of Arduino IDE to analyze it later. But it is almost impossible to do.
To reproduce
When I use Ctrl+A combination (Serial Monitor window in focus) code text is selected only (no selection on Serial Monitor window). When I try to select the text with a mouse there is another trouble: while scrolling during selection the part of selected text unselected itself.
Expected behavior
When Serial Monitor window in focus, Ctrl+A combination should select text exactly in Serial Monitor window. When I select the text by mouse with scrolling, the selection should remains for full length of the window.
