Description
I need to extract and save a chat conversation. Usually I use "Copy All":
1. Open a long chat.
2. Right click on the chat.
3. Select "Copy All".
**Expected:** The entire chat is copied to the clipboard as Markdown.
**Actual:** Nothing happens for about six seconds. _The context menu even stays on the screen._ Then the context menu goes away, but nothing was added to the clipboard. If I then paste in another editor, what is pasted is what was already in the clipboard.
There is no error message or anything
This is completely different behavior from #302908, which actually put something in the clipboard but truncated it.
