Resolution Note:
Unfortunately, this help feature provided by macOS is not very helpful in general for Unity, because it would require us to format all the help documents to Apple's new-ish format. Right now, copy paste and select all go right through to the application, based on the custom routing we do, and there is no easy way to fix it without rewriting our entire menu routing system.
For a workaround that gets you all the help you need and more, please try Command+K to open up the Search Window, which will allow you to paste a term and get the menu item you were looking for.
