Description

### Describe the bug

Window Terminal has a copy-on-select feature. It is in Settings -> Interaction -> Automatically copy selection to clipboard. copilot-cli somehow prevents this feature from working. It feels like this should be a feature of the Terminal not the applications inside the terminal.

### Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.60.

### Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Ensure Settings -> Interaction -> Automatically copy selection to clipboard is enabled
2. Start copilot cli
3. Try to copy-on-select any text.

### Expected behavior

_No response_

### Additional context

_No response_
