Often, but not every time that I paste from the clipboard history, it doesn't paste the top entry, but the second entry. This usually happens right after I've copied something into the clipboard. I can see in the listing of clipboards that the data I want is the top entry, but when I paste (by hitting return) I get the second entry. If I paste again, I get the correct one. I can get it to happen consistently if I paste after running a particular Textexpander snippet.
Here's what happens in that case: I copy a URL and some other text from Amazon in Safari in several slots in the clipboard history. On my WordPress site, I run a snippet to create an HTML URL which leaves the cursor at the place to paste in the URL. I open the history, make sure the URL is the top entry, hit return, and it pastes a different entry (the second one). Then I open the history again, see the top entry is still the one I want, hit enter, and it pastes it correctly.
It doesn't always happen after a TextExpander snippet or in Safari or with URLs, that's just the example I know I can reproduce consistently.
This has been happening for a long, long time over multiple operating system and Alfred versions. I don't know why I'm only just reporting it now.
I'm on a Mac studio running Ventura 13.4 ad Alfred 5.1.1 [2138]
