Cannot select newline at end of full line

Description
gnome-terminal-2.2.1-3 & vte-0.10.25-1 Assuming Bug 110369 is fixed, there is another problem.
If a line is exactly 80 columns long (that is, the last character visible in the line is not whitespace), then there is no reliable way for the user to select the newline at the end of the line or not.
In xterm, if my selection goes to the beginning of the next line, it means that I want the newline as part of the selection. However, when I try this in vte, it always ends up highlighting the first character on the new line.
In xterm, if my selection goes to the last character of the line, it means that I do not want the newline as part of the selection. Vte currently does this as well. Hopefully this will not change when bug 110369 is fixed.
