[Console] Right click Copy does not copy the entire selected text

[rseldner]

Kibana version:
8.16.0, 8.16.1, 8.16.2, 8.17.0

Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, from source, etc.):
Elastic Cloud

Describe the bug:
In Monaco based text boxes (it seems), you cannot use right click to copy a block of highlighted/selected text.
Right clicking results in a secondary selection over the individual word/string where the user right clicks on (screenshot below).

To copy a block of text, you need to use Ctrl/Cmd-C instead.

I cannot reproduce myself on Monaco playground nor vscode. So it seems to be unique to the Monaco implementation in Kibana?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Navigate to dev tools
2. Input multiple lines of text
3. Highlight said text
4. Right click on the highlighted text and select Copy
5. Paste the text anywhere and observe only the portion you right click on was copied

Screenshots (if relevant):

Example of the secondary selection I was referring to. It's subtle, but you can see different shading on the right clicked string.

The only way to go around this issue is to have a custom contextual menu exactly like vs code. I'm not entirely sure which options we might want to make available for the user I guess it could be:

Format
---
Cut
Copy

Not sure if we might want to add anything else in there. cc: @julianrosado

@sabarasaba What is causing that issue in our implementation of Monaco vs others out of curiousity?

[sabarasaba]

The issue arises because the Monaco editor is not a native or <textarea>. As a result, when you right-click, browsers do not offer the typical actions for those inputs, such as cut, copy, or paste. Most common Monaco implementations, such as VS Code or the Monaco playground, use a custom context menu that provides these actions along with others depending on the context. However, we currently do not have a custom context menu.
