In my opinion only selected text should go to clipboard. And there should be 
only one selected text. Situation provided in screenshot, where are two 
separate selected text, is wrong.
So if the lower part receives ctrl-c, it should pass it to it's parent (? not 
sure) when has no selected text, which should check for its children 
selections and choose one (only one) to be copied to clipboard.
I'll repeat - there should be only one selected text. If one begins new 
selection, other existing selection should be cancelled (discarded).

Robert
