Differences between serial terminal and Datalink

Is there a significant difference between using the Serial Terminal F8 and Datalink F9?

When I receive a long string of data, I've noticed that if I use Serial Terminal, I can watch the bytes scrolling by. However when I copy the Input Buffer, the data is truncated to the (aprox) last 2 kilobytes.
I've not seen this limitation with Datalink.

Is this a normal behavior?
I'm using editor 5.5.5 running on Windows 7

Edit, I downloaded the 5.5.6 patch...same issue

Yes, the PE5 terminal window is limited to a certain buffer size, and so will only display the last 2 kb or so of data received.
