Python Debug Monitor Doesn't Support Copying Value

[WordlessMeteor]

Type: Bug

When I debug a program, copying the value of an expression in the Monitor window will copy the expression instead.

VS Code version: Code - Insiders 1.104.0-insider (986f8e6054200db6e8215bbcb216f3cd2429eb4d, 2025-08-21T05:03:53.575Z)

The Python debug monitor in VS Code Insiders 1.104.0 is bugged; copying a value copies the expression instead.

[WordlessMeteor]

Update: Clicking "Copy value" actually does nothing. In my last comment it copied the expression because I had clicked "Copy expression" before I clicked "Copy value".

This problem has been solved in the latest insider version.
