      Problem Summary

      It is not possible to copy multiple rows of a table unless entire rows are highlighted, despite what the UI is showing.

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Create a page
      2. Click "Insert > Markup" and add in the following sample content:
        ||head1||head2||head3||head4||
        |.|.|.|.|
        |highlight me|highlight me|highlight me|.|
        |highlight me|highlight me|highlight me|.|
        |.|.|.|.|
        
      3. Use mouse to highlight the cells that say "highlight me". Make sure the background of the cells show up blue (indicating highlighted)
      4. Copy (Ctrl + C / Command +C)
      5. Paste results elsewhere in the editor (Ctrl + V / Command + V)

      Expected behavior

      A 3-column by 2-row table should be created by the paste

      Actual behavior

      Only the top row was actually copied, resulting in a 3-column by 1-row table from the paste.

      Other notes

      If you highlight to the end of each row then multiple rows will be copied and pasted as expected.
