#1524 Can't select text into scrollback buffer
Found an odd bug that started with 0.9.6.20090927. It also is present in the latest (0.9.6.20090928) build.
When there is text in the scrollback buffer, and text is selected (click and drag) back into the buffer, the screen keeps jumping back to the end of the buffer, making it impossible to select text further back than the last screenful.
A workaround is to scroll up first, and then select text forward - this selects the text properly.
Oddly, selecting "backward" does work properly if the screen is scrolled already, even by one line. For example, if I scroll up so just the final line in the buffer is not showing, I can select "backward" into the buffer with no trouble.
System info: MacBook Pro running 10.6.1
