I agree. I've also noticed, ctrl + c, ctrl + v fails really often, especially on chat apps, and I realized why: they'll copy your chatbox contents (empty) if you accidentally press ctrl + c, and so whatever you copied is now gone. I was going nuts because it could happen to me on every single OS I would use, copy and paste is like being destroyed by "helpful" application designs. If I'm not highlighting text, don't copy for me!
I'm looking at you Teams, Discord and maybe Slack?
Rarely does a day go by without some frustration caused by tools trying to be clever. Garbage software like Teams and Discord is usually the culprit. Using this kind of software is less about sending commands and more begging for behaviour and hoping the beg is interpreted in an unsurprising way.
I feel your pain, but the accidental clipboard overwrite can be mitigated by using a clipboard manager. Every GNU/Linux DE installs one by default and you can access it via tray app or pressing Meta+v.
Turns out MS Windows has one, too, since Windows 10. Here you press the Windows Logo Key + v.
