> Are you using any non-default clipboard settings?

Both times when it was working 99.9% of the time, and the 0.1% like this time
when it's not, I believe the only changes made (based on cross matching with
the "Defaults") are:

- History size: from `20` entries to `100`
- Non-text selection: from `Never save in history` to `Only when explicitly
copied`

I unfortunately did not check this, but I assume it did not make it into the
clipboard only because it was pasting something, and I assume how pasting works
is that it would paste what's latest in the clipboard - just the latest happens
to be not the very latest item I had copied but the one before it.

Another thing worth mentioning is that when I tested it, I noticed that it's
not that I have to copy a specific item (i.e. `A`) twice to have it copied (or
rather, paste the right thing), that item just has to be the second thing I
copied.

For example, if I want to (copy and) paste item `A`, I don't _necessarily_ need
to copy item `A` twice, I can alternatively also copy item `B` (once) **THEN**
copy item `A` once, and when I paste it - it will be item `A`. So based on my
video demo, why the "copy twice then paste" workaround works isn't necessarily
because it was copied twice, it just needed to be copied during the second-turn
intervals.

Beyond this observation, I'm now unable to verify or test anything else as just
like how it started happening with seemingly no obvious trigger, the issue also
suddenly disappeared a few hours after I made the bug report with seemingly no
trigger whatsoever, as I purposefully left the desktop untouched other than
doing my regular work of writing code, internet browsing, etc. in hopes of
_living_ with the issue until I get advice on how to hunt this bug.
