Windows: unable to copy integrated terminal output with Ctrl+C or right-click

Summary

I cannot copy text from the GitHub Copilot app's integrated terminal on Windows. Neither Ctrl+C nor right-click provides a working way to copy the terminal output.

Environment

• GitHub Copilot app, integrated terminal in a local repository session.
• Windows 11 Enterprise, version 10.0.26200, build 26200.
• Observed September 8, 2026.
• Desktop app version: not captured.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the integrated terminal in the Copilot app and display some text output.
2. Select the text to copy.
3. Press Ctrl+C, then try to paste the selected text into a text editor.
4. Try copying the selected terminal text using right-click instead.

Actual behavior

The terminal text cannot be copied using either Ctrl+C or right-click. These are the two methods I tried; other shortcuts, including Ctrl+Shift+C, have not been compared.

Expected behavior

There should be an accessible, reliable way to copy selected terminal output to the Windows clipboard, using a supported keyboard shortcut and/or a right-click Copy action. If Ctrl+C is reserved for interrupting the running process, the supported copy shortcut should be discoverable and the context-menu Copy action should work. Copying selected text should not accidentally interrupt a running command.

Impact

I cannot copy terminal output to share errors, report problems, or reuse command results outside the integrated terminal.

Related report

Possibly related or duplicate: github/app#2959 - https://github.com/github/app/issues/2959. That report describes Ctrl+C failing to copy terminal text; this report also records right-click failing and the Windows environment.

This report records user-observed behavior. No private terminal output, repository details, or clipboard contents are included.

Start by reproducing the Windows integrated-terminal behavior described in the issue, testing both Ctrl+C and the right-click menu with selected output. Compare the findings with the related github/app#2959 report, then trace the terminal's copy and context-menu handling. Done means selected output can be copied reliably without accidentally interrupting a running command.
