Copy / paste limited to 60 lines of messages

Description

I'm trying to copy some text from Riot-web to a text editor.

When I select "large" number of messages, I only get the last 60 or so messages in my clipboard.

Steps to reproduce

• One a room
• select text over multiple messages using the mouse
• ctrl-C
• go to an editor (text based for example)
• ctrl-V

Describe how what happens differs from what you expected.

First messages are not present, only last messages.

Version information

• Platform: desktop?

For the desktop app:

• OS: Ubuntu,
• Version: 1.5.6

Tried out on encrypted and not encrypted rooms, and on web version, the same problem occurs.

This use case of extracting large numbers of messages is now covered by the 'export chat' feature.
