After launching, Copy/Paste works only once. This is for WSL, PowerShell etc. It does not work after that, until I restart my machine. Then, same problem - works only once again.

Hi! We broadly refactored how the clipboard works in #15360, which is now included in WT Preview v1.19. Would you mind testing it on that version and seeing if the issue still occurs? Thanks!

[PAnandanGit]

Still the same, I tried v1.19 and also the nightly canary release as well.

Thanks. Could you repro the issue and submit a trace using feedback hub? Please submit it under the "Input and Language" > Clipboard (Copy and Paste) node.

A number of people at my company have had this same issue starting mid-December. Currently while running in Windows Terminal I can paste, but I can't copy except for the once. For some users the issue went away and for others it persists.

I'm going to have to try this out in a different PC before capturing and sending a trace. Where is the feedback hub? Is that a windows 11 item? It's not coming up in my work one.

[carlos-zamora]

You can open Feedback Hub using Win+F. It's supposed to be distributed with Windows. If you have access to a PC that does have Feedback Hub and reproduces this issue, that'll be very helpful for diagnostic purposes. Thanks!

[jamessr2]

Is there another way to get information for this issue? We have multiple developers that can't use terminal since copy/paste doesn't work. Since we are all enterprise users none of us have Feedback Hub on our machines nor can we install it since the windows store is disabled
