Cannot copy a selection made by shift-clicking

Description
I'm using GNOME Terminal 2.29.6, which came with Ubuntu 10.04.
Steps to reproduce:
- Click the beginning of a word in the terminal window.
- Shift-click the end of the word. (The word should now appear selected.)
- Ctrl+Shift+C.
- Paste into another application using Ctrl+V.
Result: old clipboard contents are pasted, rather than the selected word.
Copying works with selections created by a drag-motion, but it's really hard to select 1000 lines by dragging.
Resolution: RESOLVED DUPLICATE
