📄 Description

Summary of the Pull Request

Currently, clicking on an unfocused terminal with a selection active will trigger copyOnSelect. This is because the check for copyOnSelect and copying to the clipboard is bound to when the Pointer is released. This works fine for when a user performs a click-drag selection, but it inadvertently also triggers when the user performs a single click on an unfocused terminal. We expect copyOnSelect to trigger only on the first time a selection is completed.

This PR will allow the user to single click on an unfocused terminal that has a selection active without triggering a copyOnSelect. It also ensures that any click-drag selection, whether it's on an unfocused or focused terminal, will trigger copyOnSelect.

PR Checklist
