Description

Hi,

On v9 of CopyQ, sometimes it will miss copying/adding item to clipboard list (when doing the normal Ctrl+C copy). Version 7 of CopyQ didn't have this issue, but I'm seeing it on v9. OS is Windows 11.

Warning [2024-07-16 17:55:19.531] : [qt.qpa.mime] QtWarning: Retrying to obtain clipboard.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Qt warning 'Retrying to obtain clipboard' and trace the clipboard monitoring code path to find why Ctrl+C sometimes fails to add item to clipboard list.
