   Thanks for the report! To narrow down which problem this is, could you tell us a bit more about what happens when copying stops working?

   1. When you drag with the mouse, does the text still get highlighted, or does nothing get highlighted?
   2. If it is highlighted, does the "Copied to clipboard" toast appear? And when you paste, do you get the old clipboard contents or nothing?
   3. Does the rest of the TUI keep working (typing shows up, clicks respond), or does it seem frozen?
   4. How do you get it working again: restarting opencode, clicking inside the TUI, or something else?
   5. Does the same thing happen in another terminal, such as Terminal.app or iTerm2, or only in the VS Code terminal? Which VS Code version are you on?

   You can reply here with the details, or edit the issue. If you edit it, please also leave a comment saying you've updated it so we know you're done.

   These existing issues might already cover your problem (ordered by likelihood):

   • tui: drag-selection freezes the interface when mouse capture is enabled #51056: drag-selecting text can freeze the TUI or stop it responding to the mouse when mouse capture is on
   • TUI: "Copied to clipboard" toast shown even when nothing was copied (OSC52 "attempted" treated as success) #59664: the "Copied to clipboard" toast appears even when nothing actually reached the clipboard
   • Local copy writes the clipboard natively and via OSC 52 at once, racing the terminal (macOS) #59052: on macOS, a copy writes the clipboard natively and through the terminal (OSC 52) at the same time, and the two writes can conflict

   Hi @opencodejr

   1. When you drag with the mouse, does the text still get highlighted, or does nothing get highlighted?
      Answer: No text does not gets highlighted or selected when i use mouse cursor to select any text.

   2. If it is highlighted, does the "Copied to clipboard" toast appear? And when you paste, do you get the old clipboard contents or nothing?
      Answer: When the text gets highlighted via mouse cursor selection it does not show "Copied to clipboard" and i dont get any text copied into my clipboard.

   3. Does the rest of the TUI keep working (typing shows up, clicks respond), or does it seem frozen?
      Answer: When I exit from opencode TUI session via "/exit" command and close the terminal as well, after relaunching a branch new terminal session in VSCODE and then i reopen opencode TUI it works for few times then again same issue.

   4. How do you get it working again: restarting opencode, clicking inside the TUI, or something else?
      Answer: I close opencode TUI session and terminal and relaunch both again. Copying & selecting text starts working again but only for few times then same issue occurs.

   5. Does the same thing happen in another terminal, such as Terminal.app or iTerm2, or only in the VS Code terminal? Which VS Code version are you on?
      Answer: Yes, it happens in all terminal apps on MAC OS. Please fix it.

   We haven't heard back, so I'm closing this for now. Without knowing what happens when copying stops (whether text still highlights, whether the "Copied to clipboard" toast appears, whether the TUI still responds, and whether it also happens outside the VS Code terminal), we can't tell which problem this is or reproduce it.

   If it still happens on a current version, reply here with those details and we can reopen it. In the meantime, #51056, #59664 and #59052 cover closely related selection and copy problems, so one of them may match what you're seeing.
