I believe the root cause lies in an issue with the copy functionality. After debugging, I found that the share link is generated correctly, but something goes wrong when calling copyToClipboard.
This issue only occurs under HTTP (non-localhost environments). Since the system cannot access navigator.clipboard over HTTP, it falls back to simulating the copy operation by creating a DOM element. The relevant code is as follows:
textArea.style.position = 'fixed'; document.body.appendChild(textArea); textArea.focus({ preventScroll: true }); textArea.select();
Theoretically, this process should work without issues. Unfortunately, textArea.focus() does not execute as expected (I suspect the animation effect is causing the focus to be lost, but I haven’t figured out how to verify this). As a result, the text fails to be copied from the textarea.
I tested the session copy feature, which runs the exact same code and works perfectly. I noticed that the MENU does not disappear when copying the session, whereas clicking the "Copy Link" button triggers the MENU to hide. I think the MENU’s hide animation is causing the textarea to lose focus.

Is there any frontend expert who can explain this?

I’ve switched from using textarea.focus to the Selection Range method, which resolves the issue properly. And PR in here #24130
