I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but I found out that the copied content will be available only when the thread of the Windows Terminal where you copied the content from is running.

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18927.1001]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.2.1715.0

Steps to reproduce

If you try the following steps, you will not get what you copied.

  1. Copy some texts from Windows Terminal, (Highlight text with mouse left button, and right click on the Windows Terminal window).
  2. Close the Windows Terminal app.
  3. You will find out what you copied is gone after you close the application.

Expected behavior

It pastes the data to the new application (I'm using notepad for simplicity).

Actual behavior

Paste does not appear as an option. If you check your clipboard history, it does pop up, but it doesn't let you actually paste it.
