Description

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

The scrollbar on the right side is copied together with the content when copying with shift+selection and shift+right_click and copy.

Proposed solution

the scrollbar use '|' at the end of each line and '|' is copied together with the content. It's bothering to remove '|' everytime for the clean copied content.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the terminal scrollbar rendering and the shift-selection/right-click copy path in the CLI; trace how the scrollbar's | characters enter copied content. Done means a user setting can disable the scrollbar and copying no longer includes those characters when it is disabled.
