[issue40819] Idle Context Menu Copy/Cut Grayed Out

[Bev]

New submission from Bev <countryone77 at gmail.com>:

In Idle on macOS, when I select text in either the Shell or a file, both copy and cut should be available in the context menu, but they are grayed out (not selectable).  Both copy and cut are still available via the menu bar Edit menu and keyboard shortcuts, <command>c and <command>x, respectively.  I tried this on macOS El Capitan 10.11.6 and Catalina 10.15.4
