After launching, Copy/Paste works only once. This is for WSL, PowerShell etc. It does not work after that, until I restart my machine. Then, same problem - works only once again. #21091

Hi! We broadly refactored how the clipboard works in #15360, which is now included in WT Preview v1.19. Would you mind testing it on that version and seeing if the issue still occurs? Thanks!

A number of people at my company have had this same issue starting mid-December. Currently while running in Windows Terminal I can paste, but I can't copy except for the once. For some users the issue went away and for others it persists.

I'm going to have to try this out in a different PC before capturing and sending a trace. Where is the feedback hub? Is that a windows 11 item? It's not coming up in my work one.

You can open Feedback Hub using Win+F. It's supposed to be distributed with Windows. If you have access to a PC that does have Feedback Hub and reproduces this issue, that'll be very helpful for diagnostic purposes. Thanks!

Is there another way to get information for this issue? We have multiple developers that can't use terminal since copy/paste doesn't work. Since we are all enterprise users none of us have Feedback Hub on our machines nor can we install it since the windows store is disabled
