That's not new in 0.10.6, as far as I know.  It might be possible to 
make it copyable with GTK+.  (At least some of OS X's About boxes have 
selectable text.)

No, it doesn't.  The padding isn't *present* on the frames as they're 
handed to Ethereal; the packets in question aren't received by the 
hardware - they're wrapped around internally by the driver and/or 
networking stack in the OS, and that code doesn't necessarily pad the 
packets before wrapping them around (if it's done above the driver, the 
networking stack code doesn't even know that they *should* be padded, as 
it doesn't know that they're being sent on an Ethernet).
