Given that you don't have version information I'm not sure how to diagnose further. However I would definitely recommend installing via an official method: for example download the deb package for the latest release and install it with sudo apt install ./micro-2.0.10-amd64.deb. This will probably fix your issue. In addition, make sure the clipboard option is set to external, and that running xclip from the terminal works.

Yes, tested it. The binary getting from apt is faulty.
Uninstalled via apt (sudo apt remove micro) and reinstalled following the official method "Quick install script"

Now works as expected (evtlly need to install xclip sudo apt install xclip)
