Description
### Windows Terminal version
1.15.3466.0
### Windows build number
10.0.22000.1455
### Other Software
Microsoft store WSL + WSLg:
C:\Users\ophers>wsl --version
WSL version: 1.0.3.0
Kernel version: 5.15.79.1
WSLg version: 1.0.47
MSRDC version: 1.2.3575
Direct3D version: 1.606.4
DXCore version: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp
Windows version: 10.0.22000.1455
Clink: v1.4.13.0066c6
### Steps to reproduce
1. I open Eclipse CDT (latest) from within a WSL terminal window (running CentOS 7).
2. I copy text from Eclipse.
3. Trying to paste to the WSL terminal window fails - nothing pasted.
4. Also nothing pasted to ANY Windows Terminal tab I open (CMD, Powershell, etc.),
neither to a new Terminal window I open.
### Expected Behavior
Text is pasted to the terminal window.
### Actual Behavior
Nothing pasted.
#### But, it will paste to:
1. The find box of Windows Terminal

2. To a `conhost.exe` windows started from windows "Run" bar.

3. To `Notepad`

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with Windows Terminal 1.15.3466.0, Windows 10.0.22000.1455, WSLg, and Eclipse CDT as described. Compare pasting into WSL, CMD, PowerShell, the find box, conhost.exe, and Notepad. Done means copied text pastes into Windows Terminal tabs as expected without regressing the working destinations.
