Hello there,

I'm using Tilix for a while, and i don't know what happened, but i'm sure i was able to select the Select all option which would select the whole history. Now it seems to only select the visible area.

Same problem here.

Version: 1.9.3 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed

Looks like this commit is the cause:

Hmm, not much this project can do to fix that. Maybe i need to revert a version.

There is an option in terminal title > other > save output, can it help in your problem, or u using select all option for somethin else besides saving history.

BlackDex commented 3 years ago

Well, it is a work-around, but it isn't actually the same. I often use it to just copy/paste output somewhere on slack, meld etc.. This would create a few extra steps, saving, opening, copy/paste, delete file.

But since it's not something Tilix can fix, i will close this :).

I lost so much data due to this issue. :( I assumed it copied the entire text in the terminal, like it used to do before. After I closed the terminal, I realized that it didn't...

Edit: in order to prevent data loss in the future, I created the following AUR package (vte3-selectall), which reverses the select-all limitation: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vte3-selectall
