Bug Description
After what might be about a minute, or other times many minutes, tmux drops out of copy mode. if the elapsed time were consistent i'd presume it's an intentional feature, and if it were an intentional feature i'd be asking for a way to opt out of that behavior, but as the timing is random i presume it's a bug, and a regression.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.
Can you provide more details about the issue? By "copy paste mode" I assume you're referring to the copy mode you enter when you type CTRL+b [, is this correct? I've made an experiment here and left tmux in this mode for several minutes, and nothing happened. I'm thinking that maybe there is some other component influencing/causing this behaviour. For example, are you using some terminal application (like mate-terminal, gnome-terminal, xterm, etc.)? If yes, are you using its default configuration? Also, could you share your tmux configuration?
I happen to use tmux in my Focal machine as well, and I have never experienced this problem.
Since there is not enough information in your report to begin triage or to
differentiate between a local configuration problem and a bug in Ubuntu, I
am marking this bug as "Incomplete". We would be grateful if you would:
provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you
believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your
system, and then change the bug status back to "New".
