Steps to reproduce

1. Open Cursor to any text file
2. Highlight some text and then press CMD+X or CMD+C to copy the text to the clipboard
3. Paste this text on another line to ensure it's on your clipboard
4. Highlight a different piece of text to paste over and press CMD+V, you will not see your previously copied text
5. For more testing, move to a new line and try pasting again. You will see the last text highlighted gets pasted.

This works the same for any text you highlight: it gets copied to the clipboard.

The same behavior happens when using the mouse instead of the keyboard shortcuts.

Thank you for the report! I'm trying to reproduce on my end but so far am unable to. Just in case, does this still happen to you if you disable your extensions?

@truell20 you are correct, it appears that after I published this I updated to a new update and the issue is now resolved.

Thank you!
