Impossible to select a text in gdb with tui on

Asked by vfdev

Hello,

I have an issue with selecting the text in the terminal using the latest gdb installed to ubuntu 22.04 (GNU gdb (Ubuntu 12.1-0ubuntu1~22.04) 12.1) and TUI.

Here are the steps to reproduce:
1) run `gdb --tui`
2) select and copy the text in the terminal. It should work. For example
```
For more information about this security protection see the
"Auto-loading safe path" section in the GDB manual. E.g., run from the shell:
        info "(gdb)Auto-loading safe path"
(gdb)
```
3) switch on TUI: ^X ^A
4) type `help` to produce some text in the console and try to select some text. In my case it is impossible to select anything.

Previously I used gdb with tui on ubuntu 18.04 and same steps worked perfectly before upgrading to ubuntu 22.04.

Any hints or suggestions on how to fix that ?
Thanks
