Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the Cinnamon menu input field using the linked screenshot as context, and verify that copy, paste, and cut work by keyboard but not by mouse. Trace the input-field implementation in the cinnamon-menu library and identify the existing editing behavior. Done means mouse interactions provide equivalent support for all three operations.
