bug: Can't copy text from the chat

[mcheviron]

Version

1.16.1

Describe the bug

When I am in the chat window and I want to copy text, neither the normal cmd+c nor the right click then picking "Copy" work for me. In fact it works intermittently and I don't know why honestly

Expected behavior

Selected text to be copyable from the chat window

Additional context

No response

Related bug, but not as bad as this one: you can't select code as it's streaming

For everyone who's not able to copy to clipboard from Cody chat, which version of VS Code are you on? They fixed a bug in VS Code in 1.89.0: sourcegraph/sourcegraph#62361 (comment). Could you please try upgrading to that version and reporting back?
