Yes! Someone else who misses this! At least, I think we are talking
about the same thing.

gnome-terminal - 2.0.x  general  RESOLVED  useful selection method has vanished.


The resolution, incidentally, is NOTABUG. Grr. Before you try to
reopen it, though, bear in mind that when I was on the release
team I held up a release-team phone call for half an hour (the
calls are an hour long) passionately trying to justify my view
that the loss of this feature was a serious bug. I didn't get
very far :) 

I still maintain that with a stylus, this method was far, _far_
easier.
