Steps to reproduce

Settings:

  • "Automatically copy selection to clipboard" (copyOnSelect): false
  • "Automatically focus pane on mouse hover" (focusFollowMouse): false

Steps:

  1. Echo some arbitrary text on the console
    (not needed if for example PowerShell automatically printed its version; or the current working directory)
  2. Open the search: Ctrl + Shift + F
  3. Click-and-drag to select any of the output from step 1
    ℹ️ Note: Do not perform a separate left click; instead press down the mouse button and directly start dragging your mouse
  4. Try for example to copy the selection with Ctrl + C

Expected Behavior

Step 3: The search text field lost focus; the console output got focus
Step 4: You copied your selection to the clipboard

Actual Behavior

Step 3: A text selection is shown for the console output, but the search text field still has focus
Step 4: You did not copy anything because the search text field still has focus

Side note: If instead of click-and-drag you perform a separate click (press and release) first, then the console output properly has focus.
