Description

I tried the edit program from the relase file,
it is found that there is nothing occurs after do the action ctrl+c or ctrl+x and ctrl+v
or it pastes the text before I open the edit, instead of I just copied
my terminal set ctrl+shift+c to copy, I also tried it in the edit, but no works
it is odd.
Linux debian 6.1.0-35-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.137-1 (2025-05-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Research direction

Reproduce the clipboard behavior in the release build on Debian, trying Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V and the terminal's Ctrl+Shift+C as described. Trace the editor's clipboard handling from the reproduction; done means copying and pasting the current selection works consistently instead of doing nothing or using text from before the editor opened.
