Description

Hi, I'm running Windows 11. When I double-click content (text or image) stored in CopyQ, it's not automatically pasted into the app that was active before opening CopyQ. So, I have to use CTRL+V. Is it possible that CopyQ isn't returning focus to other apps after copying content from it? Thanks.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate why CopyQ does not paste content after double click. Check if the application loses focus or window handle changes. Look into the paste implementation and window focus methods.
