26.513.31313

What subscription do you have?

Pro 20x

Darwin 25.4.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

Manually selected and copied text contains formatting / background color if the selection includes the first word of the answer. The copy button (or not selecting the first word) sidesteps that, but it goes against muscle memory

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Select and copy an agent message from the very beginning and paste into rich-text App (like Apple Mail). Pasted text is then displayed with the background color from the Codex App

Pasted Text should NOT be displayed with the background color from the Codex App
