Highlighting terminal text with click-and-drag doesn't send it to primary selection buffer

[dbarnett]

In most terminals when I click and drag with the mouse to highlight some text, it gets copied into the primary selection buffer so I can paste it with center-click. This doesn't seem to be working in abominade terminals (my primary selection isn't affected by selecting text in embedded terminals). Has it always done this and I haven't noticed, or has there been a regression in a8 or VTE?

I'm seeing this on Ubuntu 14.04 using Unity desktop.
