If it starts at column #1, it won't copy. At the risk of being very redundant, a diagram might explain it better. Consider this 9x4 mini terminal rendered in ASCII (best viewed in a monospaced font), where "*" means the cursor: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 (columns) +--------------------- 1|hello world 2|jelly beans 3|* 4| ^ (rows) Now I mark a block (1,2 - 2,5) with 'shift-F3' (all caps): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 +--------------------- 1|hELLO world 2|jELLY beans 3|* 4| When I hit F5 I see: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 +--------------------- 1|hello world 2|jelly beans 3|ello 4|elly The marking is gone, but the copy worked. Whereas if I start the 'shift-F3' from column #1 (1,1 - 2,4) : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 +--------------------- 1|HELLo world 2|JELLy beans 3|* 4| ...and hit 'F5' there's no change: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 +--------------------- 1|HELLo world 2|JELLy beans 3|* 4| ...or at least that's what happens on my system. Whereas if I hit 'F6' it looks like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 +--------------------- 1|o world 2|y beans 3|hell 4|jell Hope that explains it clearly. On a hunch I tried 'mcedit' in other terminals: 'gnome-terminal', 'xterm', and console, and it's the same in all of them. I also tried it using the 'F9>Edit>Copy', but it made no difference.
