I know I am super late but I can help with a thing!
The copy past thing where it does not copy the text you have market? Not actually the GUI's fault. It is programs wanting to stop you copying their text, and so they do not create text objects, but basically makes super special versions so that copy paste does not know what it is holding, and thus cannot copy it. This is ALWAYS done on purpose because text is, like, the easiest to work with in programming.
It... more or less cannot be fixed, BUT I now use "Capture2Text" which gives me a shortcut to press, then mark the text in a drag box, and it uses the picture to generate the text. That works ALWAYS(although sometimes gets the text a little bit wrong). No matter what, and they cannot stop me!
The text is proprietary objects? Does not stop me
The text is not selectable? Does not stop me
The text is just a picture? SCREW YOU! DOES NOT STOP ME!
It is also a super lightweight program and works with nearly no delay(Which is my big GUI fetish... I hate all the bloat GUI's have these days. When I open a program or change a window I want it done NOW! Not 0.5 seconds from now. NOW!) and it leaves you alone when not using it. http://capture2text.sourceforge.net/
