Copying text from LC Script Editor

[Richmond]

Copying text from the script editor is problematic on more than one 
platform.

Over here "in the wilds of Linux" it is not possible to copy-paste 
directly from the script editor
into anything but a simple text editor.

For instance; if I want to paste code from the script editor into 
Thunderbird (my e-mail client)
I have to paste it into a text editor and then copy-paste from there 
into Thunderbird (a double bounce,
so to say). The same sort of thing into a Libre Office document, and so on.
