I think the behavior of the "Copy Raw File" button is problematic for files that are not encoded in UTF-8.
Take this file for example (encoded with Windows-1252):
https://github.com/DecimalTurn/Raw-File-Problem-Example/blob/main/Example.txt
The content of the file looks OK:
However, if you try to use the copy feature, and you paste it into any text editor, you'll see the following where all the non-ascii characters have been turned to �:
I think this is counter intuitive because we are used to the symbol "Copy" to mean that it will copy what we have in front of us and not some utf-8 parsed version of the raw file. This issue is especially problematic when the non-ascii characters are hard to notice because they are further down the file.
