What's Wrong?

While using Claude Code in VS Code, copying text (Ctrl+C) from a Claude Code window in VS Code no longer works. Right-click > Copy copies no text to the clipboard. This is true in the main window and the prompt textbox. I can type a prompt but I cannot copy (or cut) the text I have typed.

Attempted focus changes, starting a new Claude Code session, etc, do not help. Ctrl+V (Paste) works correctly.

Restarting VS Code resolved the problem (for now), but this was highly disruptive in the middle of a complex session.

VS Code v1.114.0
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19045 (Windows 10 Pro)

What Should Happen?

Ctrl+C (and context menu equivalent) should work correctly from the main Claude Code window and the prompt textbox. Ctrl+X and Ctrl+P should also work in the prompt textbox.
