@tsegreto Is this happening consistently?

For some background, the way that we are able to get text from the terminal is by doing the following in quick succession

• store current copy buffer contents in temp variable
• select terminal contents
• copy current selection
• unselect
• save the new copied text
• restore the old copy buffer content

It might be that something is happening in between these to disrupt, or that no terminal is currently open?
