Specifications
micro -version
Version: 2.0.13
Commit hash: 68d88b57
Compiled on October 21, 2023
OS: Running micro on linux
Terminal: Windows Git Bash
I'm running Git Bash on MS-Windows, and doing a ssh from there to linux VM.
Usually I hit Ctrl-Ins to copy the text from the terminal, and Shift-Ins to paste to terminal.
This works if I use nano or vi, but copying from micro does not work.
Ctrl-C in micro seems to copy, but only within micro.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported case: run micro over SSH from Windows Git Bash on Linux, copy with Ctrl-Ins, and paste into another program; compare the behavior with nano or vi. Done means copying from micro works outside the editor while paste into micro continues to work. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points to inspect.
