Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in OBS Studio 27.2.4 using a Browser Source interact view and a dock on macOS 11, testing CMD+C, CMD+V, and CMD+A. Trace keyboard handling from those browser surfaces and verify that the three commands work from the keyboard as well as from the contextual menu.
