I don't know if that's a bug.
But I miss the standard context menu (copy, cut, paste, etc) as there is with Linux or macOS.

AFAIK this is not standard on Windows, at least with native controls.
You need UWP, or WinUI, or whatever managed-code UI framework microsoft feels like telling you to use today

Correct. The EditorGadget is a RichEdit Control on Windows, which doesn't support menus, so this is not a bug.
Requests to support menus for the EditorGadget have been made several times before:

You may take a look into this 10 year old example in which I had taken RASHAD's Windows code and put it into a
cross-platform example.
