Describe the bug
When Copilot CLI displays a confirmation dialog containing a multi-line script and waits for me to confirm that I ran it, I highlight part of the script and press Ctrl+C to copy the selected text.
Instead of copying the selection while leaving the dialog open, Copilot CLI closes the dialog, removes its contents, and tells the agent that I declined the prompt. I then cannot copy the remaining commands, and the agent incorrectly proceeds as though I intentionally rejected the confirmation.
Windows Terminal may deliver Ctrl+C as an interrupt, but converting that interrupt into a semantically "declined" answer and removing the only visible copy of the script is CLI-level behavior. Cancellation and explicit decline should not be treated as equivalent.
Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.84-3
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Open Windows Terminal with PowerShell.
- Start
copilot. - Ask Copilot to provide a multi-line script and then display a confirmation dialog that waits for confirmation that the script has been run.
- Use the mouse to highlight the first part of the displayed script.
- Press Ctrl+C with the intention of copying the selected text.
- Observe that the confirmation dialog closes and its contents disappear.
- Observe that Copilot reports the prompt to the agent as declined, even though no decline option was selected.
- Attempt to copy the remaining part of the script and observe that it is no longer available.
Expected behavior
When text is selected inside a confirmation dialog, copying that text must not submit a declined response or permanently remove the dialog contents. If Ctrl+C is handled as cancellation rather than copy, the CLI should distinguish cancellation from an explicit decline and preserve the dialog or its script in the conversation timeline so it remains copyable.
Additional context
- Reproducibility: Happens consistently when I press Ctrl+C after selecting text in a blocking confirmation dialog.
- Operating system: Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise, version 10.0.26200
- CPU architecture: x64
- CPU: AMD EPYC 7763 64-Core Processor
- Terminal emulator: Windows Terminal
- Shell: PowerShell 7.6.6
- Copilot CLI help currently documents
ctrl+cascancel. - The incorrect behavior is specifically that cancellation is returned to the agent as an explicit decline and the dialog content disappears.
- Debug logs: Attach a debug log from a reproduction if available.
- Suggested regression test: Render an elicitation dialog, deliver Ctrl+C while text is selected, and verify that the dialog does not produce a declined response and that its content remains recoverable.

Línea de trabajo
Comienza con el diálogo de solicitud o confirmación de Copilot CLI y la ruta de cancelación con Ctrl+C descritos en la reproducción; el issue no menciona archivos fuente ni rutas de prueba existentes. Reprodúcelo en Windows Terminal con PowerShell, luego añade la cobertura de regresión sugerida y verifica que copiar texto seleccionado no envíe una respuesta rechazada y que el script siga siendo recuperable.
