[ha-tp-gh]

Describe the issue you are experiencing

In File Editor (HA app on MacOS) I cannot copy (or cut) text. If I copy some text from other sources, I can paste it. It seems like a rights problem in HA app.

What type of installation are you running?

Which operating system are you running on?

Home Assistant Operating System

Which app are you reporting an issue with?

File editor

What is the version of the app?

5.8.0

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. open a file in HA File Editor, e.g. configuration.yaml
2. markup some text
3. try to copy the marked text (edit-menu > copy OR cmd + c)
4. try to paste the copied text wherever You like > nothing changes, because the clipboard is empty
5. open a file in another MacOS app, e.g. Notes and copy some text
6. paste the copied text in HA File Editor or wherever You like > it works
7. I conclude, to copy some text in HA File Editor doesn't work properly.
