Interesting. Nothing out of the ordinary there.

So that we can better reproduce this bug, can you help us out by telling us exactly how you're performing the "remove selection" operation?
Thanks!

Using a right click (two finder tap):

  • click on a char, right click, char was copied to clipboard.
    or
  • select a number of chars, right click, selected chars are copied to clipboard.

A right click, when there is no selection, will also paste what's on the clipboard, but this is not so critical is it's not usually a destructive operation.

Oh! In that case! Sorry, this is somewhere our documentation is quite lacking.

Right clicking when a selection is active is the premier way to activate copy. We've talked a bit about supporting mouse rebinding (#1553), but it's not in scope for version 1.

(A good way to clear the selection is Esc, but that's also not terrifically discoverable.)

With copyOnSelect set to false, I would expect this to be disabled. I am constantly loosing critical content from from clipboard due to accidentally tapping on the touch pad.

This is even more of an issue when a single tap will select a single char or even white space.

copyOnSelect controls whether the selection is stored to the clipboard when it is selected, as opposed to making it require affirmative assenting action (right clicking, Ctrl+Shift+C).
I agree with you about single character selection making this worse, but we get shouted at on the regular when we try to take away that specific feature. ☹️

OK, but coming from a MacOS/Linux background, trying out windows with WSL2, this is just not expected behaviour.

I even went so far as to try out Hyper terminal to avoid this issue, but whilst it doesn't have this problem is has other issues.

Thanks for the feedback about your expected behavior. We're happy to continue the discussion about our boundary between expected/desired and how that plays off of users' understanding of the legacy Windows console here, but I'm going to close the issue since it seems like it was resolved.

Sorry 😄
