Copy/Pasting text even when not selected

True, but why does an unselected text via ctrl+leftclick still copy onto the clipboard?
Let me show some steps to elucidate the situation:

1) Here are notes with a staff text

2) If I select the first note head, press ctrl+c & paste into the next measure, it works

3) If I select the first two note heads by ctrl+left clicking each, and copy+pasting, it won't paste anything. I'm not sure why this is, but my guess is because they're just note heads and not the complete notes unlike what happens when you use shift+arrow keys to select a portion of the measure: this is the way to go usually. Why then does it work for one note head but not two is the question here?

4).Now if you select the whole measure, the "zone", by clicking it in a blank area, then copy and paste to the next measure: all works fine: it copies everything over.

5) Do the same thing again but now before copying, de-select the text by ctrl+clicking it, then copy and paste. It pasted the text! Why? It wasn't part of the selection. It seems to me that the "measure selection", the blue box selecting the whole measure, supersedes any nitpicking done by de-selection. To show this I deselect the two middle notes (had to deselect the stems and the dotting also), and it still copied the whole thing. What i'm arguing is: this shouldn't be the case; the copy function should take into consideration any de-selections.

Any feedback or retorts? I consider this worthy of the issue tracker, but I'd like some more input beforehand.
