Bug Description

I'm using a web application to manage my passwords. (passbolt). When clicking the password, its value is copied to clipboard. (EDIT : same behavior when copying text from any page in the browser)
(usually 'for a certain time', don't ask me how/why, I also saw the same behavior with keypassxc by the way)

When clipboard-manager is running in the panel :

  • paste does not work
  • clipboard-manager becomes un-responding (I mean: click on the icon does nothing)
  • restart clipboard-manager => click on it, the list does not show previously copied password value

THEN : if I "copy" text from another place (like, terminal or text editor) : this new text is copied, clipboard manager seems to unlock, clicking icon will display the newly copied text AND below, the password.

So, it's as-if the first 'copy' did not end and tha app is waiting for something. (may be related to this 'delete later from clipboard' mechanism - but I did not have the issue with keypassxc for instance)

Expected Result

clipboard manager's clipboard would get populated / cleaned when asked to

Steps to Reproduce

browse for a password, click 'copy'.

click clipboard-manager icon : nothing happens. Paste : nothing happens.

See logs below to see what happens when clicking on the icon.

Then copy some other text from a text editor : situation gets better.

Additional Information

Logs

I would LOVE to add some detailed logs, I built the applet from sources so I may rebuild it with verbose flags if needed.
So far I've seen nothing.

best I Managed was building in debug, launch from terminal,
and ... got spammed by these when reproducing the issue ; that happens when clicking on icon after the copy action from password manager app.
