Description

The last build of conhost contained #9087, so it may have regressed with #16377, which changed how copies worked (and how trimming was propagated into the copy request); there is also a chance I regressed it with #17638

Research direction

Start by comparing the behavior changes in #9087, #16377, and #17638, focusing on conhost block-selection copy handling and whitespace trimming. Reproduce the regression in conhost-1.25 and trace the copy request path; done means block selections once again strip trailing whitespace from the right.
