- Select some text from a previous command or result

enter) - Select some text of the new command on the input line
- Right click and bring up context menu
Copy is not available
What did you expect to happen?
Copy to be available where selecting text

Research direction
Start at the console pane's context-menu handling and reproduce the steps on Windows with a fresh command selection, comparing it with a selection from history. Done means the Copy action is available for selected text on the input line for both Python and R consoles, as it is on macOS.
