Hmm, in current master either the

محرك

or

Bing

of

محرك Bing

is selected and the copy is what you see selected (like in the browser here).

I think that got fixed with

https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/ktexteditor/-/merge_requests/815

or one of the later merge requests that are on that topic.
