The Issue*

Please briefly describe the issue you come across.

• Cannot copy text from pdf viewer after updating and restarting any extension.
• This promblem likely came out after the VSCode March 2024 update. After pressing "update" and "Restart Extension" of any extension to update it, I cannot use cmd-C to copy the text content from the PDF. However, I can click the "Edit-Copy" from the toolbar as an alternative. After restarting vscode, it will be fine again.

Reproduction Steps

Please list out the steps to reproduce your bug. Include relevant environmental variables or any other configuration.

1. Open a pdf file, select text and copy with cmd-C. It's ok.
2. When a extension is ready to update, click the "update" and then "restart extension" to update the extension without restart the whole vscode.

3. Copy different text, but then cmd-C is disabled actually.

   

4. Click "Edit-Copy", it works normally.

   

Expected Behavior

What were you expecting to see? Include any relevant examples or documentation links.

• Be able to copy text from pdf viewer normally at any time.

Anything Else?

Add any other context about the problem below.

• I don't no which caused this problem: the extension itself, vscode, or pdf.js?
• By the way, the copy shortcuts also have problem while using ssh. When I use ssh to open pdf on Ubuntu with vscode and LaTeX-Workshop, I must use ctrl-C to copy text instead of cmd-C, while copying in other files is still cmd-C.

Very likely that you need to reopen the pdf tab.

Please include logs.
