Cannot copy selected text in jsonb field,

[DanielPiersonLN]

Describe the bug

On Windows, If I highlight some text in a jsonb filed and use ctrl-c I get the entire field value rather than just the selected text. Right-click menu has an option for copy but it is disabled.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Query window
2. Run a query where results contain a jsonb field.
3. Double click jsonb field to invoke edit widnow
4. Highlight some text
5. CTRL + C
6. Open Notepad
7. Paste into notepad

Expected behavior

• only the text that was selected in the jsonb field is pasted.

Repeat 1 - 4
5. Right click selected text

Expected behavior

• Copy menu option should be enabled.

HI @adityatoshniwal . I see that this ticket was closed as duplicate, but the referenced ticket isn't exactly what I'm describing here. The referenced ticket talks about incorrect quoting. My ticket refers to copying only the selected text.

eg: if the jsonb field has

{
"firstname": "Dan",
"lastname": "Pierson"
}

and I highlight just "Pierson", I'd expect when I copy with CTRL+C, that only "Pierson" would be copied. Instead, I'm getting the entire value for the jsonb field.
