Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
Run the micro editor in Ubuntu WSL 2 or on NixOs Linux via SSH using Tabby Terminal
Set the editor clipboard mode to "terminal" in settings
Copy some content
Switch to notepad, paste - nothing happens - the content isn't copied
In an SSH Terminal using Tabby, copy some shell text - message COPIED appears
Go to notepad, it works - text is pasted
Same is true in WSL window.
Conclusion: OSC52 works in Tabby terminal and WSL2, but not when inside Micro
Tabby emulates XTerm and clipboard works in terminal and emacs

Research direction
The report names no source files or tests. Start by reproducing terminal clipboard mode with Micro in WSL2 or NixOS over Tabby, then trace the OSC52 clipboard path and compare it with the working shell behavior. Done means copied text can be pasted into Notepad in the reported environments.
