I know this is likely an upstream issue but after noticing the recent 
improvements in lxpanel why not ask for what seems impossible ;^)

In Lubuntu (and I think all LXDE based distros) copying a line of text is more 
difficult than it is in Ubuntu or other Gnome based distros.

Just as an example look at the first command here:

And NO I'm not recommending everyone change from Lubuntu to Ubuntu, that has to 
do with the pae vs non-pae issue and some people may want a five year LTS.

Anyway it's a very long command. Using Ubuntu I can just double-click and then 
select copy, but with Lubuntu I must position the cursor at the beginning of 
the command and be sure to "drag" all the way to the right before selecting 
"copy".

This even has some effect during installation with the live CD. I typically 
change the computer name/host-name and rather than just being able to highlight 
the entire host-name and then entering the new name I must backspace to nothing 
and then enter the new host-name.

Of course this is also a detriment to copy-n-paste/highlight-n-delete/etc when 
creating any document and/or script.

Am I asking for the impossible? As previously mentioned I'd be loathe to even 
ask but the improvements in lxpanel tell me that anything is possible :^)
