When copying SVG output from a Jupyter notebook cell in VS Code (Web, Codespaces), the paste operation typically fails on the first attempt. You usually need to repeat the copy-paste process one or more times before it succeeds.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new Jupyter notebook file.

2. Generate SVG output using the following code snippet:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
%config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'svg'
random_integers = np.random.randint(0, 101, size=1000)
plt.hist(random_integers, bins=10, edgecolor='black')
plt.show()

3. In the top-left corner of the cell output, click the three-dot menu and select Copy Cell Output.

4. Attempt to paste the copied output into an application that supports image pasting (e.g., Microsoft Word).

• The paste operation will likely fail on the first attempt.
• You should see No blob data to write to clipboard error in the browser console.
• Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the paste succeeds.
• In most cases, the second attempt works, but sometimes multiple retries are needed.
