Bug Description

Desktop App is opened. Team workspace is active and in an environment.
Rest API module - collection is opened, and request from subfolder is selected.
Request is POST with Body as multipart-form-data. BodyParam is a "data": {medium size json object}
Trying to copy-paste (via keyboard) the param value (json object as text)
4a. Trying to Copy the param via "Edit raw" - context menu Copy or via keyboard
After "copy" directive the whole window/interface freezes (windows title bar is functional (e.g drag, minimize))

Recreated on newest Hoppscotch version, from Windows msi installer from homepage. As far as i know, no other modifications/interceptors to the flow - because I recreated the flow after clean reinstall.

Closing the Desktop App, unfreezes. But bug reoccurs for the copy functionality.

Deployment Type

Hi, I'd like to work on this issue.
The freeze seems reproducible on the REST Body tab, and I can start investigating the copy/clipboard handling.
Could you assign it to me?
