Copy & paste problem in IDE v2.3.7 #2855

Describe the problem

My OS is the German language version of Ubuntu 25.10 using Wayland and since upgrading my Arduino IDE from v2.3.6 to 2.3.7. I am having problems copying and pasting text within the IDE. If I right-click within the IDE the selection box that pops up is not fully populated (some items disappear if the mouse hovers over them) BUT this occurs only on sketches written in 2.3.7., for sketches written in older IDEs the pop-up in 2.3.7. works as normal.

To reproduce

Open IDE v2.3.7. and open a file written using v2.3.7. Right clich and select copy (if possible, sometimes works and sometimes copy is already missing). Copy some text from the file and try to paste it somewhere else in the sketch, the paste option within the context menu will disappear. It is still possible to use cut and paste from the top menu.

Expected behavior

Right click should offer a fully populated context menu containing both cut and paste options, as is the case in v2.3.6 and all earlier versions.
