Interesting… I’m able to repro it based on something @PowerSchill said earlier. It appears that if a powershell.exe terminal gets launched before the PowerShell Integrated Console appears, mouse selection will not work in the Integrated Console. However, if no powershell.exe terminal is opened before the PSIC gets launched, mouse selection works fine.

This definitely seems like an issue in VS Code but I’m not exactly sure what would cause it.
