Copying text to the clipboard is extremely flaky.

Environment

[Environment]::OSVersion

Platform ServicePack Version      VersionString
-------- ----------- -------      -------------
 Win32NT             10.0.18362.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18362.0

Windows Terminal (Preview)
Version: 0.5.2681.0

Steps to reproduce

Open up any console app and copy text via mouse clicks. OneDrive link to desktop recording via Radeon Software.

Expected behavior

Text be on clipboard and not crash.

Actual behavior

Sometimes the app crashes after ~0.5 seconds when trying to copy to the clipboard (content is lost), even if copying is successful, closing the app clears the clipboard. Copying via Ctrl+C is more reliable, but Ctrl+C is reserved for break.

This sounds close enough to the issues mentioned in https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/2927 - so hopefully fixed with the next release.
