Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Steps to reproduce :
1) write a new mail in Evolution
2) select part of one line
3) right click to show contextual menu
Expected result :
selection is kept and it is possible to choose "copy" from the menu
Actual result :
selection is lost
Note that if selection contains the beginning of the line it works.
I can reproduce it in plain text, html in Evolution 2.26 and 2.28
According to tests with upstream and Ubuntu users this seems to be
Ubuntu specific.

When writing a message, if selection doesn't contain beginning of the line,
it's impossible to copy it using right click->copy because selection is lost
