I just installed a new Ubuntu Linux server. After installing the Copilot CLI, I attempted to log in using the `/login` slash command.

When the following screen appears, I am unable to copy the URL; I only end up copying the code instead.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.57 on an Ubuntu Linux server by running `copilot`, then `/login`, and trying to copy the displayed URL from the terminal. Investigate the login screen's terminal interaction and verify that the URL can be copied directly, not only by selecting it and right-clicking.
