I can't reproduce the behavior you're describing -- selecting large amounts of text off-screen still works for me. Is it related maybe to a specific file you're trying? What version of BN are you using? Does it happen on both dev and stable? There's no setting to change for that since we believe it should be working as you initally described. Nothing was intentionally changed about it.

That said, you can use File / Export / Linear View to dump the entire file to disk and snip out the pieces you want.

You might also find this example snippet useful: https://gist.github.com/psifertex/6fbc7532f536775194edd26290892ef7#file-export_to_text-py
