There are now two copy buttons in Stack Snippets:

screenshot of Stack Snippet showing two forms of Copy links which leads to confusion

The original one (below the code blocks) still copies all the content to the answer field, but the top two just copy that specific code block (e.g. just the CSS or just the (mislabeled as XML) HTML, with attribution, but not in Stack Snippet format. This will likely lead to confusion for readers/answerers. To make matters worse, no information is shown via a tooltip on hover to help users along.

Can the original Stack Snippet "Copy" button be expanded to say "Copy to answer" or something similar? And/Or can the new Copy button for each code block be expanded to "Copy with attribution"
