hi ! thank you .
no shared link available.

if I copy the text from here and paste it in chat GPT, it does work
the other way around no.

#

of course with keyboard shortcuts

does the copy button work? I can't reproduce this here, maybe it's some app/plugin/etc. on your side?

I could reproduce it. Can you verify that this is happening to you as well (so, hopefully we can get a proper bug report):

take any code-block.
select (e.g. by double/tripple clicking) anything in the block
go to the edit menu and check if "copy" is selectable or greyed out
if it's greyed out, click in the code block, somewhere without a selection, make a new selection and check again

For me: it fails to enable copy when I was either in another window or in the chat box and directly select anything without first clicking in the code block.

#

Also once again, there is a copy button, which works to copy the whole code block:
