I would like to select and copy text from the
main webrunner (html) display for copy/paste to other
window applications, or even the URL box of webrunner
itself. This does not work in W.R. Both netscape and mosaic
seem to allow selection, in that they highlight text I
drag through, but I cannot copy it out.

The description field as copied from bug report 1183500 follows:

Mosaic does not support selections (copy, not paste); Netscape does. Webrunner should.

Release says 0.9.2
