using the latest download of ide2 I'm trying to copy and paste from the serial monitor - but any lines that go off the screen are de-selected so I can not copy them. is this a bug?

Yep, it's a known issue. Not sure, but possibly this report: Copy-pasting from the serial monitor only copies what's on the screen. · Issue #1710 · arduino/arduino-ide · GitHub
