Description
Describe the bug
On MacOS with running Copilot CLI in VS Code terminal copying text doesn't work. I can highlight it but then if I right-click it my selection (three lines, small text) is lost and only the word I click on is copied.
This makes it difficult to try out the same prompt in a second terminal.
Workaround - make a screenshot. :-)
Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 0.0.420.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Open VS Code terminal
- Open Github Copilot CLI
- Type a prompt e.g. "Come on, it's 2026 and copy & paste is broken!?"
- Paste in another terminal
- Make sad face
Expected behavior
Copy & paste should work.
Additional context
MacOS.
