Research direction

Start by locating ServerBox’s Windows terminal or TUI rendering and text selection entry points, then reproduce the issue while selecting multiple lines in Kilo Cli or Codex. Compare the selection bounds with the rendered terminal content to identify where unrelated interface text enters the selection. Done means copying a multiline selection includes only the intended TUI text; the issue does not name a file or test.

Description

bug

When selecting text in a TUI application ( Kilo Cli, Codex ) using ServerBox for Windows, the selection includes content that should not be selected, such as unrelated text in other parts of the interface.

This is especially problematic when selecting and copying multiple lines of text, as unwanted content may be included in the selection.

Expected behavior: Only the intended text should be selected and copied.

Actual behavior: The selection extends into unrelated areas of the TUI, making it difficult to accurately copy multiline content.
