Hi vivekawsm,

I could reproduce the issue with the exact steps as specified.

I've been able to reproduce the same issue consistently.

When a user double-clicks the "Copy suggested policy text to clipboard" button, the "Copied!" notice text was included in the clipboard contents when pasted.

The root cause: document.execCommand('copy') copies all text content within the selected range, including text that is merely visually hidden via CSS. The .success ("Copied!") span and the button label both live inside .privacy-settings-accordion-actions, which sits inside the panel being selected — so their text was always part of the copy, becoming noticeable on double-click when the notice is visibly rendered.

The fix adds .privacy-settings-accordion-actions to the existing hide-privacy-policy-tutorial class before selectNodeContents runs, then removes it immediately after — the same mechanism already used to exclude tutorial paragraphs from the copied content.

Thank you very much for the review @westonruter, always appreciated.
I took your suggestion and reworked the solution to wrap the content once more and only copy this one - regarding of the added "Copied!".

Tested locally and over ​https://playground.wordpress.net/?core-pr=12008 both work perfectly.
Let me know if anything more is needed.

In 62663:

Privacy: Exclude the "Copied!" notice from copied policy text.

The "Copy suggested policy text to clipboard" action selected the entire accordion panel, whose contents include the actions toolbar holding the "Copied!" confirmation notice and the button label. Running document.execCommand( 'copy' ) copies every text node in the selection, including ones hidden with CSS. So double-clicking the button, which renders the notice, leaked "Copied!" into the clipboard. Wrap the suggested policy text in a dedicated .privacy-text-copy-content container and select only that node, so the actions toolbar is never part of the copied range.
