Ghostty on macOS pastes using the public.html representation

[gpakosz]

Issue Description

On macOS, when an application puts content in the pasteboard and one of the representation is public.html, Ghostty picks it instead of the public.url one.

Details:
I'm using an internal application that's copying a link into the general pasteboard. Among representations, it creates

• public.url: https://example.com
• public.html: <a href="https://example.com">https://example.com</a>

Expected Behavior

When pasting, Ghostty should paste https://example.com, using the public.url, public.text or public.utf8-plain.text representations.

Actual Behavior

My observation is that Ghostty prefers using the public.html representation and pastes https://example.com https://example.com.
The URL is actually pasted twice, as if the content was stripped from any HTML tags.

Reproduction Steps

Unfortunately I can't share the app that populates the general pasteboard.
