[Linux] Embedded terminal right-click menu only shows Select All; Copy/Paste missing

What variant of Codex are you using?

App (ChatGPT Desktop / Codex on Linux)

What version is running?

ChatGPT Desktop 26.825.51511
Released Aug 29, 2026

Installed from the official OpenAI APT repository:

https://persistent.oaistatic.com/codex-app-prod/linux/deb

Platform

• Linux Mint 21.3 (Virginia)
• Cinnamon desktop
• X11 session
• amd64

What issue are you seeing?

In the embedded terminal opened inside the Codex/ChatGPT Desktop app, right-clicking only shows:

• Select All

The expected Copy and Paste entries are missing from the terminal context menu.

The clipboard itself works correctly:

• Ctrl+Shift+C copies selected terminal text.
• Ctrl+Shift+V pastes into the terminal.
• Copy/Paste also appear normally in the right-click context menu of the ChatGPT/Codex prompt input.

This seems isolated to the right-click context menu of the embedded terminal rather than a system clipboard problem.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open ChatGPT Desktop / Codex on Linux.
2. Open a new embedded terminal inside Codex.
3. Select some text in the terminal.
4. Right-click inside the terminal.
5. Observe the context menu.

Actual behavior

The right-click menu only contains Select All.

Expected behavior

The embedded terminal context menu should include at least:

• Copy
• Paste
• Select All

similar to a normal Linux terminal and to the prompt input context menu in the same application.

Additional information

The app was updated from version 26.803.81509 to the current stable repository version 26.825.51511, then fully restarted. The behavior remained unchanged.

Keyboard shortcuts provide a functional workaround, but mouse-based Copy/Paste through the context menu is unavailable.

I searched existing issues before filing this and found related clipboard/terminal reports, but not one matching this exact behavior on the Linux desktop app.

Reproduce the issue in the Linux embedded terminal using the listed steps, then trace how its right-click context menu is assembled. Done means the menu includes Copy, Paste, and Select All while keyboard shortcuts and the prompt input menu continue to work.
