Unexpected text copied after switching output mimetype

[bamurtaugh]

Testing #103860

• Switch output mimetype to text/markdown, select some text and then copy -> correct text is copied and pasted into notepad
  
• Switch output mimetype back to text/html, select some text and then copy -> I didn't expect the code cell's contents would be copied, rather than the output content I highlighted
  

Is there a way we can allow users to copy and paste the html output? Or is that the point of switching to the markdown format?

If this is the correct/expected behavior, please feel free to close.

@bamurtaugh can you confirm if you are still seeing this issue in latest Insiders?

@rebornix Yes, I just tried again and am still experiencing this. I can copy and paste markdown output, but attempting to highlight and copy the html output still pastes the input cell's contents rather than the output.
