Yes the selection in this window with the mouse is a bit tricky because of the way it format the text.

The most reliable method is the following:
- do a single click at the start position
- press the Shift key, do a single click at the end position, be sure the mouse cursor is the caret, not the arrow.
- press Ctrl+C

If you not need the pictures and text formatting, you can also use a simple text display that is much more easy to work with.
in Setup / Display, check "Show only text in detail window"
