Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?

Yes, and I updated the version box above to show the version of the nightly that I tried

Describe the bug

When selecting across multiple words with mouse, the selected words cannot be copied automatically to clipboard, like below:

It works well while double-clicking on single word, though.

Can you try while pressing the Shift key?

[liberiulx]

Select while pressing the Shift key does work.

[bew]

When that happens is because the current terminal application is capturing mouse events (to place the cursor, or resize/scroll windows/...) Neovim does that automatically, see :h mouse for more info.

And in Wezterm, you can bypass the this capture with Shift by default. You can configure this using bypass_mouse_reporting_modifiers config

Thank you all for the info.
