Description
I can't paste text into a textarea in the browser preview, inside vscode.
For example, if I highlight something in editor, Ctrl-C, then click in area on web-page & Ctrl-V, nothing. Linux middle-click-paste is also not working: it can paste text to itself, like from somewhere else in same browser preview, but not from anything else.
OS: Linux Pop!_OS 20.10
VSCode: 1.54.3
Browser Preview: 0.7.0

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure in the Browser Preview textarea with editor clipboard text and Linux middle-click paste, using the VSCode and Browser Preview versions reported in the issue. Trace the browser preview entry point and clipboard handling; done means text can be pasted from the editor, another application, and Linux primary selection into the preview.
