Description
This issue is opened here following the discussion taking place at https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh/issues/4348 .
Basically, it seems like, when copying a long line that is broken over several terminal "render lines", the result is obtained as if being several lines, and copied as several lines, instead of one. This is quite annoying when using, for example, Xonsh, as breaking a long line into two smaller lines confuses the python interpreter (and guess there are many more possible similar issues possible across user cases).
@anki-code @yaxollum , continuation of our previous discussion on the Xonsh issue.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. First reproduce copying a long command that wraps across terminal render lines, then trace the selection and rendering paths involved; done means the copied result preserves the command as one line so interpreters such as Xonsh receive it correctly.
