Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
I am having two Micros opened and I would like to copy a segment between them. So I select string in the first one with a mouse (click on the left button and drag). Then I click on the right button and a pop-up window with options opens. Unfortunately, Copy option is grayed out so I cannot copy it to the clipboard.
I do have xclip as recommended in readme.dm.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the report with micro 2.0.9 on Ubuntu 22.04.2 in MATE Terminal 1.26.0, using two open instances and xclip. Compare mouse selection with the context-menu Copy action; done means the selected text can be copied to the clipboard without the Copy option being grayed out.
