I have not experienced any problems selecting and copying text in tmux with a mouse after setting set -g mouse on.
set -g mouse on
If you want to emulate some terminal features like "auto copy selected text", you can set the additional tmux setting:
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi MouseDragEnd1Pane send-keys -X copy-pipe-and-cancel "<clipboard_program>"
Where <clipboard_program> on linux can be something like xclip and on mac would be pbcopy.
<clipboard_program>
xclip
pbcopy
From this point on, you can use the mouse to click-and-drag selection over text and once you let go, tmux will automatically copy to system clipboard.
