When I tried Wezterm last year, you couldn't select more than 3-5 lines of text. I went to fix the 'bug', I found that it was intentional because it allocates a string and copies multiple times every time you click and drag.
Even if that's fixed, that design put me off the terminal forever.
I regularly select hundreds of lines in Wezterm. I have never had a problem.
Been using/abusing wezterm for years, my scrollback is set to 1000000 and text selection has never been a problem... copy mode however does make it even easier
I hed to look this up, so here's a correction: it was one large line logically split, not smaller lines. So you can't select, say, a long compact JSON line.
Still not fixed: https://github.com/wezterm/wezterm/issues/3494
