I can see this problem on osx (only). I don't understand it, but notice that if you highlight some text in the debug window then right-click and copy, it does put the text into the clipboard so you can paste into the terminal.
So the problem is that Cmd+C does not copy highlighted text in the debug window into the clipboard.
