Non standard cut behavior.

[Phoenixxl]

An issue is still the non standard cut behavior compared to all other editors.

When the option of cutting/copying the current line is disabled. ( editor: empty selection clipboard -> uncheck Controls whether copying without a selection copies the current line.)

In this mode:

Expected, "normal" behaviour ->
Selecting a piece of text "abc", copying it to clipboard , pasting it, pastes copied text "abc".
Selecting nothing. pressing the cut or copy shortcut while there is no selection, pasting , pastes the content of the clipboard which is still "abc".

Behavior seen in all thea based editors ->
Selecting a piece of text "abc", copying it to clipboard , pasting it, pastes copied text "abc".
Selecting nothing. pressing the cut or copy shortcut while there is no selection, pasting , pastes the content of the clipboard which is still nothing.

This is an oversight, this is not intended dear forum moderator or equivalent I beg, don't use sophisms to try and make this go away , leave this open ideally for the person who wrote that bit to read this.

When cutting or copying nothing a clipboard stays in it's current state it doesn't get emptied. In theia based editors it gets emptied.

Hey @Phoenixxl,

do you mind filing an issue for this? This works as expected in vscode, but incorrectly in Theia (even though we use the same editor), so we should adjust out behavior.
