Hi,
This is logged as https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=216666 .
Reading the report, it's believed that this is native behaviour, but there
aren't other native apps sited to prove/disprove this. If you're able to
find a native app that demonstrates that this behaviour is wrong then please
add a comment to the report with it, and it may serve as a catalyst for
investigating this further.
The only workaround I can think of is to add focus in/out listeners to the
Texts and clear/set the selection when needed.

> On Windows, as well as allowing the Text to span multiple lines, and for
selection to span multiple lines, it also allows you to select text in
multiple Text widgets simultaneously. However, only the last selection is
copied.For comparison, Linux/GTK only permits a selection in one Text.
