Bug Description

Impact
------
GNOME Console 43 has switched to GTK4 and the final line of text isn't being copied. If there is only one line you are trying to copy, the clipboard is apparently empty.

Test Case
---------
Install the updated vte packages and gnome-console.

Run the Console app.

Run this command:
cat /etc/os-release

Copy a selection that includes the end of the line. One easy way to do this is to triple-click the line. Then right-click and choose Copy.

Then right-click and choose Paste.

All the lines should be pasted including the final line.

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
This is a one line fix that modifies a function (vte_terminal_get_text_selected) that is only used by GNOME Builder and GNOME Console. (GNOME Builder is affected by the same bug).

Neither GNOME Builder nor GNOME Console are included by default in any Ubuntu flavor. GNOME Console may replace GNOME Terminal as the default terminal app for Ubuntu Desktop in a future Ubuntu release. This bug was a blocker for that happening.

Hello Jeremy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted vte2.91 into kinetic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vte2.91/0.70.0-1ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-kinetic to verification-done-kinetic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-kinetic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
