Describe the problem

When selecting text on the serial monitor (with the connected device paused) upon scroll the range of the selection shifts in unpredictable patterns (at least i didn't see a reproducable pattern) which prevents selecting more then one page of the output. As of #812/#105 using ctrl+a is also not an option to select text in that tab.

As i do not have the problem of new text triggering a redraw which removes the selection, i do not consider this a duplicate of #812/#105, but feel free to correct me.

To reproduce

  • print multiple pages text on the serial monitor once e.g. in the setup() function.
  • when all text is received select a bit of it
  • scroll the output up and down a bit

Expected behavior

The selection should stay between the first and last selected characters, and not randomly jump around.
