Code snippets from a plan cannot be copied *at all*

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

The plan feature is great but there is something very annoying: it seems that it is literally impossible to copy a code snippet generated in a plan. I tried:

  • CTRL-C → didn’t work
  • right clicking → no right click menu appears

There is simply no way to copy the code presented in a code snippet from a plan. Very annoying.

Steps to Reproduce

Have the AI create a plan.
Try copying the content of a code snippet in that plan.

Expected Behavior

copying should be possible

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but this requires me to type out the text or switch to markdown view (which loses formatting on clipboard).

White mode should be a crime

Quick addition: the exact same thing happens when using the Focus Agents Window:
Here I am trying to copy a text on the left, to populate my commit message on the right and there is no way to copy the text on the left. CTRL-C doesn’t work. Right click doesn’t work etc… So it looks like the same component as the plan component is being used here.

I thought I’d complement my initial bug report with this one cc @deanrie
