Description

Describe the bug As stated in the title, I will upload a video to demonstrate the effect. When the "Move to Top" setting is enabled, rapid clicks—whether using single-click or double-click mode—will cause the item to disappear, whereas slightly slower clicks will not trigger this issue. I have disabled all scripts and settings under F6, so there are no other interfering factors.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the event handling for the 'Move to Top' feature in the copyq source code, likely in the item list widget. Check for race conditions when rapid clicks occur. Review the code that handles item reordering, possibly in src/app/itemlist.cpp, and ensure proper queuing of operations to prevent item disappearance.
