I have been fighting with nano for quite some. It didn't allow me to simply use my mouse to select text and access Terminal's context menu to cut / copy / whatever. Changing USE flags and emerging newer versions were of no help. However, solving the problem is more than simple. Just open up as root /etc/nanorc.

File: /etc/nanorc

change 

set mouse

to 

#set mouse

Be sure to comment set mouse. Thus, when using nano, you will be able to select text and access the control-menu of your terminal.
