Can't copy mathematical expressions

[AltayAkkus]

Description

If you have multiple lines of mathematical expressions, whether as inline or as a block, and you try to copy it, the raw LaTEX is copied, but not the surrounding $ tags.
So if you paste it into another document, you have to add the tags yourself line by line.

• [ X] Can you reproduce the issue?

Steps to reproduce

1. Open new document
2. Write multiple lines of mathematical expressions (whether inline or as a whole block)
3. Copy them by dragging your cursor across it and pressing CTRL C
4. Paste them with CTRL V

Expected behavior:

It pastes the mathematic expressions fully so that I can just use them after it.
Example: copy $ \int_{a}^b $
Wanted outcome: $ \int_{a}^b$

Actual behavior:
it copies \int_{a}^b

You see the raw LaTEX Code which stands between the $

Found the option to copy as markdown, drag your cursor across it, left click and select "Copy markdown"

I don't really see the use case of having to do this manually but I am still happy :D

I think this should still be open.
