Additional Information

1. The standard keyboard shortcuts ⌘C, ⌘V, and ⌘X are also affected. They close the search menu and instead act on the current document/selection.
2. Firefox exhibits the same bug. Finder, TextMate, and iTerm are examples that behave correctly.

Additionally, seems like this could be an Electron issues but didn't come across one in a quick search. Did notice the same behavior in VS Code though Slack works ok.
