Since about a week I am experiencing a weird issue - when ever I open a Clarion based program/application or even the editor - if my clipboard contains something, let it be a file or text - it will be pasted multiple times in the last focused window (or new opened window in Clarion) - it even happens when I have text in my clipboard and a Clarion based program opens a new window with a field auto-focused, it will be pasted into it.

Has anyone experienced such issue before? It only happens when I run/open/use Clarion based programs as far as I can test for now

Finally found the culprit - now I’ve gotta figure out why - but it seems to be related to Powertoys somehow

> Advanced Paste
> 
> \### Steps to reproduce
> 
> I attach a video the shows the behaviour. On Windows, when i have closed slack into systray and then open a chat window, all clipboard data is automatically inserted into slack. Even files i have copied in file explorer. 
> 
> This does not happen when i just minimize to task bar instead of systray.
> 
> I do not press any key. Just open with a click on the systray icon.
> 
> The only plugin i have activated is Advanced Paste (Screenshot bellow). If i disable just this plugin or close power toys, the auto insert is gone.
