Have you tried enabling QuickEdit mode in the Properties (right click on the titlebar)? Quick edit lets you use the mouse for selecting, and in Insider's releases we've even added support for Ctrl+Shift+C/V for copy paste (even in wsl!).

We've been working on not only tons of bugs, but adding plenty of new features, including support for VT sequences, 256/RGB color, improving our unicode support, enhanced accessibility support.

The fact that all of our devs are under 30 is merely coincidence :)

I just started turning Quick Edit off because I understood it was responsible for that strange bug where the console sometimes gets stuck until you press return. :-( Is that one on the to do list?
That’s how selection has always worked. It halts console output until you’re done selecting.
It's overeager, then. It's pausing the console even when no selection is made. Maybe I'm clicking in the window accidentally, but I'm not selecting anything. I certainly don’t have the problem on Linux.
Ah, so I'm not the only on with this issue! Thanks for the workaround.
Why do you need to select quick edit to be able to copy? That makes no sense.
You don't need to but it makes it easier
