It's a really annoying phenomena.
Since this is a behavior of your terminal (kills the selection as soon as the term is written to), rather than tmux, I believe your choices are: 1) Increase your status-interval high enough that it happens rarely 2) Use a terminal that doesn't produce this behavior (or find configuration settings that may suppress it?) 3) Use copy mode, and some utility that allows you to transfer tmux's buffer to your system's paste buffer. -- Micah J.
