Cannot mark and copy text larger than visible terminal area

Description
Please describe the problem: Since latest Mandriva Cooker update, I cannot copy more lines than currently visible in my gnome-terminal.
Steps to reproduce:
- I scroll to the very end of my gnome-terminal window.
- I start marking terminal content with the mouse and pull upwards.
- After some window scrolling (with pressed mouse to go on with marking), I stop marking content.
- Now either Ctrl-C or right-hand-menu "copy"
- Open favorite editor application and paste window content here
- Compare pasted content with gnome-terminal window
Actual results: One will see, that only the last visible content got copied. The marking and scrolling has no effect any more, one cannot copy more than the visible area.
Expected results: Before the update, I marked more than 2-3 scrolled pages (100+ lines?) and pressed Ctrl-C to copy everything to my editor.
Does this happen every time? Yes, since latest update of VTE / Gnome-Terminal.
