Hey @njtierney, thanks for the issue. Could you please attach the output of the About Positron menu item? This is really strange! Is it possible that previously you had copied the smaller block of code that's in your clipboard, and then during the video when you hit Cmd+C it doesn't actually copy, so that when you paste, it pastes the previous output? (Does that make sense?) I notice in your video that the line that didn't get copied is marked as a git addition. If that's the case, would you mind trying this:

Thanks, @austin3dickey ! It might be possible that I already copied that text, but I remember having a really similar experience a couple of weeks ago and it was really impacting my workflow (as much as I'd like to wish I wasn't copying random snippets around, it is the workflow sometimes!), so I couldn't really use positron to keep working on that project. Thanks for this tip, it looks like there's quite a few keybindings for Cmd + C:
Is there anything that you would recommend I do/change? Is there a way for me to just go back to ground zero, and set all keyboard shortcuts back to default values. |

This is such a mysterious problem! We do have #9364 now tracking this on our side, which we will hope to verify as fixed once the problem is solved upstream in microsoft/vscode#252371. I do encourage you all to add a 👍 on the upstream issue. |

So it finally happened again for me, and just for completeness sake I'd like to add the debug info as also posted by @njtierney above:
Regarding the Keyboard Shortcut Troubleshooting log window, it ironically refuses to let me copy the log output in the window, either with Cmd+C or with right click c-> copy, so I had to click the button to open the output in the editor and copy with right click 🫠 This is the output of me trying to Cmd+C + Cmd+V and then pressing Cmd+F I know we're kind of in the "let's wait for upstream to fix it" phase with this but, well, might as well post logs. EDIT: It seems there's new instances of this popping up regardless of what I do or don't do, unrelated to any copy/paste action? |

I'm not sure if I'm going crazy, but when I use Cmd + C, positron doesn't seem to copy all of the lines of code? See the attached video.

I'm using the latest version of positron, 2025.08.0-130
