In the status bar, a right-click brings up a two-item context menu: *Select 
All* and *Copy*.  I have always found this a little confusing.  *Copy* implies 
that it will copy the contents (usually the UNL), but actually you have to 
select it first before *Copy* will do anything. It's possible to select by 
dragging the mouse, or by using the *Select All* menu item.

With the old style UNLs, there was some value in being able to drag-select 
only part of the UNL, but with the new-style UNLs I don't see the value.  
it's all or nothing, it seems to me. How about changing the *Copy* item to 
*Copy 
All*, and let it copy the UNL without the need to select anything?  
<CTRL-C> could be kept for copying a drag-selected portion.

If it is decided to keep the items the way they are, it would be helpful 
for the *Copy* item to be disabled when nothing has been selected.  I don't 
know how tricky that would be from a Qt programming point of view.
