I'm not a developer, so put this bug into Evangelism component. Sorry if it's a wrong way of doing things.

This, called with a string, seems not to cause the string to be copied to the clipboard Safari 14.1.1:

function copy(e) {
        var t = document.body;
        if (null == t)
            throw new Error("[Utils] ClipboardUtils.copy(): assert failed: document.body != null");
        var n = document.createRange(),
            r = window.getSelection(),
            i = document.createElement("textarea");
        i.value = e,
        i.contentEditable = "true",
        i.style.visibility = "none",
        t.appendChild(i),
        n.selectNodeContents(i),
        null == r || r.removeAllRanges(),
        null == r || r.addRange(n),
        i.focus(),
        i.setSelectionRange(0, e.length);
        var o = document.execCommand("copy");
        return t.removeChild(i), o
    }

Oh, no, that's wrong. The function works fine (though Web Inspector console doesn't count as a user gesture, perhaps?).

Caused by having requestAnimationFrame in the stack.
