Proposed technical implementation details

  1. Show the label of copy/paste menu item.
    It is hard to distinguish them.
  2. Disable the menu item when it is not available, not hide it.
    Because their icons are meaningless to me . These icons I remember them by their order. Hiding make their order wrong.

@deontic It's an option you can toggle in the settings. Select the profile Defaults from the navigation bar on the left (assuming you want this menu on all your profiles). Then at the bottom of that page, look for the Advanced section under Additional Settings. If you expand that, you should find an option labelled Display a menu on right-click.

Thanks for filing! Looks like this may be a difference between WinUI 2 and 3:

  • WinUI 2 Gallery - CommandBarFlyout

  • WinUI 3 Gallery - CommandBarFlyout
