Attachments: clipboard pane showing incorrect text

Description Finley Watson 2025-07-07 23:13:05 UTC
Created attachment 183050 [details]
clipboard pane showing incorrect text

Clipboard contents is within but not including the backticks, note the newline at the end:
`git checkout -b release/25.04 origin/release/25.04
git cherry-pick -x 1234abcd
git push origin HEAD:release/25.04
`

Displays without the final "release/25.04" text in the popup, as shown in the attached image. Deleting some of the text in the clipboard e.g. middle line makes the final text appear, but I can't pin down what exactly causes the text to not show.

We have a character limit, but it should have some visual indication it's showing truncated.
