When using a TextArea widget in an editor, the selection can't be copy-pasted using keyboard short-cuts (neither with the middle mouse click for linux  users).

Right click/copy|past is mandatory.

Reproducible: Always

"Ctrl-C" and "Ctrl-V" do not work as expected.
But if you try using "Ctrl-X" to cut, it's even worse : the current element is deleted and can not be retrieved with an undo.
