Environment

Windows build number: Version 1909 Build 18363.657
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.9.433.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

Mark text in the terminal windows with the mouse. Either pres CTRL+C or Enter to copy, and try to paste in texteditor.

Expected behavior

I'd expect to have the marked textportions in my clipboard, ready to paste.

Actual behavior

nothing gets copied to clipboard. Instead, ^C is displayed in terminal OR, when using Enter, a carriage return is seen in the terminal windows.

To clarify: I can copy&paste perfectly in cmd, powershell and linux subsystem windows. As soon as I use the Terminal Preview App, it does not work, and never has.
