Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18922.1000
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.2.1715.0

WSL, Node.JS, Git-SCM (shouldn't really affect anything, right?)

Steps to reproduce

  • Select text by dragging over it
  • Click the text, which copies
  • Notice that now one character where you clicked is selected
  • Right-click into your input
  • Observe the text actually pasted is just that character selected after (or during) copying

Expected behavior

The original selected text should be pasted

Actual behavior

The character below where you clicked to copy that was accidentally selected is pasted
