I’m also seeing this issue with a web view on our extension. It’s really weird, Ctrl+C works perfectly fine, but right-click -> copy does not copy to the clipboard.

I found this, and I think this might be related to the issue:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70788421/context-menu-copy-is-not-working-in-vscode-webview-but-ctrlc-is-working-fine

A user replicated this issue while debugging vscode and found out that CTRL+C and right-click->Copy have different implementations.

Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this? Or if there’ll be a resolution soon?

Thanks!
