Thanks for the bug report, I was able to reproduce this, and it impacts both our notebook and the interactive window. It seems that the terminal is not aware that it no longer has focus when a webview is focused. We'll discuss this at our upcoming triage.

@rchiodo , please try and find a minimal repro and create a VS Code bug.

Thank for reporting this. I have the same issue.

I have found a similar (related ? ) issue.

• My VSC is not starting with a Terminal pane opened ( I am sure it used to by default?).
• If I try and copy an error message (or any other text) in the Python Interactive pane with Ctl+C, then nothing is copied.
• If I then open a Terminal pane (Ctrl+` ), then I can copy (Ctl+C) from the Python Interactive window and paste to wherever (e.g. Notepad).
• If I then close the Terminal pane, then (Ctl+C) from the Python Interactive window still works.
• If I close VCS and re-open, then I can repeat the above sequence (i.e. it stops working again until a Terminal Pane is opened).

....hope this helps resolve this issue and/or provide an interim workaround for the other "Copy/Paste breaks issues"......

Another issue I reported (#13042) was transitively marked as a dup of this one (via microsoft/vscode-jupyter#767) but these seem to be separate (perhaps related?) issues.

So, does anyone know how to deal this problem or bug? If possible, please comment me?

See workaround in linked issue microsoft/vscode-jupyter#854. Set the focus to Terminal before copying from output.

@luomou97 @lleeoo another workaround is to select and drag&drop to another editor as suggested by @dostov

[rchiodo]

This is fixed in upstream.
