"copy selected items to clipboard" / "copy bibliography" gives weird results
A problem I encounter for the last several months: whether with shortcut Ctrl+Shift+C or file menu: I get all kinds of strings I do not need. I depends if I paste as unformatted text (including unwanted info) or as HTML (clean, but formatted inc. an indent). Many programs can only paste unformatted..
So basically a paste should show like this:

Instead of (I replaced < by ** and > by ***, otherwise it shows pretty normal in this forum-post..):

can this be fixed?
ps. why 2 phrases with the same function?
"copy selected items to clipboard" = shortcut
"copy bibliography" = Edit-menu

(I agree on the PS, FWIW -- having different names for the same shortcut is weird)
The Edit menu entry is in the context of the Edit menu, where Copy always copies a selected thing to the clipboard (so "selected" and "clipboard" would both be redundant), and the text depends on the Quick Copy setting (e.g., "Copy Bibliography", "Copy as CSL JSON", "Copy as RIS").
