Environment

Platform ServicePack Version VersionString

Win32NT 10.0.18362.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18362.0

Windows Terminal Version 0.8.10091.0

Steps to reproduce

Open WSL Ubuntu terminal
Select a block on text with copyOnSelect enabled (for example "TEST1")
Ensure block of text remains highlighted
Switch to notepad instance
Paste selected text into Notepad
Make some change to text, (for example change string to "TEST999")
Copy string inside Notepad
Highlight Windows Terminal
Paste string into Windows Terminal

Expected behavior

TEST999 is pasted into Windows Terminal window

Actual behavior

TEST1 is pasted into Windows Terminal window

Notes

It appears that each time the window is made active, a new copyOnSelect action is performed if there is some text previously highlighted. I would expect the Terminal to only perform the copy operation the very first time the text is highlighted.
