3. Select some text in the editor
4. Copy
Expected:
  => Selection in editor is copied
Actual:
  => Tree element is copied

Is this specific to the SearchTab? If so why doesn't it happen in other tabs?

This seems like it should be passed and handled at another level, since Search isn't the only client of cluster views and nested content browsers.

For example, WI.ClusterContentView passes through handleCopyEvent already. Maybe ContentBrowser needs this most of this code? But it shouldn't know about TextEditor either. Hmm.

It is. A check for handleCopyEvent support was added for TabContentView, and SearchTabContentView is the only implementor.

This doesn't have anything to do with ClusterContentView or nesting. SearchTabContentView is implementing handleCopyEvent, which causes WI._copy to override the default behavior (coping the CodeMirror selection).

What would your expectation be if this were performed at a higher level? Should WI._copy bail out early if focusedContentView has a text selection?

I like this better. This might be something we should do elsewhere or generally in WI._copy. But I don't see any other handleCopyEvent code paths that would have this same issue.
