TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by using the Codex App, which allows copying text from agent replies.

Guidance

  • Consider using the Codex App as a workaround to copy text from agent replies.
  • If using the IDE Extension, try to identify any existing features or settings that may enable text copying from agent replies.
  • Provide more information about the IDE Extension version and settings to help investigate the issue further.
  • Explore the possibility of submitting a feature request to add text copying functionality to the IDE Extension.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the IDE Extension, and the Codex App is already providing the desired functionality.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use the Codex App to copy text from agent replies, as it is the currently available solution.
