Describe the bug
I an not copy/paste any selected text from Warp to another program, nor from another window into Warp
To reproduce
Select any text in Warp, right-click->Copy (or Ctrl+Shift-C), switch to a different window (say, gedit) and try to paste the copied text. The old contents of clipboard is pasted, as if nothing was copied inside Warp.
The same problem when trying to copy text from gedit/Firefox/GNOME_Terminal into Warp
Expected behavior
Copy/Paste in Warp should use the system clipboard, allowing copying text to/from other programs

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the clipboard failure on Ubuntu 20.04 with Warp v0.2024.02.20.08.01.stable using gedit, Firefox, or GNOME Terminal as the other application. Trace the existing clipboard handling from the relevant terminal entry point; done means text copies between Warp and other windows in both directions using the system clipboard.
