It seems I am unable to copy long content from nodes in the editor without it being abbreviated.
Node-RED: version 4.0.2
Browser: Firefox version 129.0.1
I am able to copy long content from other tabs/urls (not Node-RED) in the same browser.
I have tried Node-RED instances running on different hardware, same result.
What it looks like when I try to paste:
```auto
msg.payload = "code example";…some more code…the rest of the code
```
With large sections abbreviated with the `…`.
Any ideas whats going on or how to fix it?

Copy/paste seems to work as intended on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

What OS is the browser running on?

Are you using the ACE or Monaco editor?
Can you show a screenshot?
Can you tell use the exact steps?
Is the ellipsis clickable and what happens if you do click it?
Why is your code all on one line?

Monaco
It happens if I use keyboard shortcuts or context menus to copy and paste.
No it is not clickable.
On one line for the sake of a shorter example.

Found the culprit, an installed userscript was interfering with the copy/paste functionality.
