Find widget and clipboard commands within webviews don't work; cannot search `WebviewPanel` with `enableFindWidget: true`; can't cut, copy or paste #1860

Describe the bug Extensions can contribute custom editors, etc. using WebviewPanel. When one is created, WebviewPanelOptions can have enableFindWidget: true, which enables a find widget on the webview that can be used with CtrlF, just like in any browser.

In MS VSCode, it works as expected, even highlighting occurrences and everything. In Codium, the find widget opens, but it doesn't work at all.

This is a problem, as extensions can often use webviews to display complex webpages, e.g. documentation; where often the user needs to be able to search for text. Forcing extension authors to implement custom search functionality just for Codium is not a viable option, as those webpages can often be from an external source like a website.

A place where you can easily see the issue is in "Show Release Notes", where the webview is not searchable in Codium.

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

Please confirm that the issue/resolution isn't already documented

To Reproduce Simplest steps to quickly reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open an untitled markdown file and type a bunch of text.
  2. Click on 'Open Preview to the side'.
  3. Click on the preview and hit Ctrl+F to show the find widget.
  4. Search for some text, the use ENTER or the arrows.

Expected behavior In MS VSCode, it works, finding the text, scrolling to it, and even highlighting all occurrences as you type on the search box. In MS VSCode for the Web (testing an extension in a browser IDE with vscode-test-web), it works too, though it won't highlight occurrences.

In Codium, the find widget opens, but it doesn't work at all. Typing won't highlight occurrences, or enable the previous/next match arrow buttons. Enter doesn't find anything either. Using the dev tools Console, and selecting the webview frame context, you can run JS API window.find just fine, so it's some issue involving the find widget itself, or possibly Chromium/Electron.

Another bug: just found out that the Cut/Copy/Paste commands within a webview also don't work in Codium, though they do in MS VSCode. Tried the Copy command in both context menu and Ctrl+C shortcut. To reproduce, test it in the same places described above.

I can confirm the bug on macOS.

In case it helps, I just tested this (using extension API), it seems even manually executing commands like vscode.commands.executeCommand('editor.action.webvieweditor.findNext') and .findPrevious won't work. These are the equivalent of the UI arrow buttons, it seems. For context, commands editor.action.webvieweditor.showFind/.hideFind do work as expected.
