Research direction

Start by reproducing the copy and right-click behavior in Warp with Vim 9.0 on macOS 14.2.1, then compare it with the other terminals mentioned in the report. The issue is done only when the cause is shown to be Warp-specific and the copy workflow works, or the report is closed as external because it reproduces elsewhere.
