Description
Before submitting
- I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
- I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.
Area
apps/desktop
Steps to reproduce
- Copy text from any other application (I used Zed to ensure no weird unicode characters)
- in t3code latest nightly select a threat and attempt to paste into the chat using command+v or Edit>Paste
- expected text will not show.
This issue appears even with completely new thread and after restart of application.
Expected behavior
Copying text and pasting into chat should result in the copied text pasting into the chat field.
Actual behavior
The chat show no text when you past the copied text

Research direction
Start in apps/desktop and reproduce the issue on macOS using a new thread, copied text from another application, and command+v or Edit>Paste. Trace the chat input's paste handling and check whether the same failure occurs after restarting the application. Done means copied text appears in the chat field through both paste paths.
