'Copy' quite frequently picks up UI strings
已回答
Intermittently, when you highlight code, copy it and then paste it, what gets pasted is not the text that you selected, but what appears to be a random string from the UI – part of a prompt or whatever.
Doesn't happen often enough to be a huge problem, but does happen enough to be noticeable.

Invoke your clipboard history with ⌘⇧V (macOS) / Ctrl+Shift+V (Windows/Linux).
I have just received an email relating to a new comment which I cannot actually see here. The comment reads:
This sounds like a clipboard synchronization or UI focus issue rather than a problem with the code editor itself. A good first step is to update the application to the latest version and temporarily disable any clipboard managers, browser extensions, or remote desktop tools that may interfere with copy/paste operations. If the issue persists, try reproducing it consistently and report it with details about your OS, browser, and app version, as intermittent clipboard bugs can be difficult to track down without specific reproduction steps.
Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. Just to say that I am at the latest level, don't have any clipboard managers, or remote tools and am not usually running a browser at the same time as IntellIJ. (Just to emphasise, in case it wasn't clear from my earlier statement, that the UI snippets which I see appear to be ones originating from within IntellIJ itself – ie it's bits of text which relate to the IntellIJ UI, not to some external activity.) I appreciate that intermittent problems are very difficult to address. Unfortunately, though, it genuinely is intermittent, and therefore impossible to reproduce consistently – occurrences appear to be entirely random.
Hi Jamie,
Could you please collect IDE logs via Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data after the issue occurs again and provide them to us with an example of a wrong copied string?
We’ll check logs for related errors/exceptions and more information about your environment.
Upload logs to our server https://uploads.jetbrains.com/ and provide us with the Upload ID. The uploaded data will be accessible only to our team and will be used solely for investigating this issue.
Thanks!
Will do what I can. It hasn't happened for about a week now (and when it _does_ happen it normally happens only once). May be a while – I'm tied up on other things currently.
