[Bug] Paste action not working on Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon #1

Description

The "copy" part works correctly: I can see all my clipboard history is correctly registered. However, the "paste" action does nothing. The issue happens both when the window gets opened with the mouse, but also via keyboard shortcut, the latter in particular when focused on wherever a paste action is allowed (e.g. a blank text editor). Basically, I've never see this work...
I'm a noob in Linux, so I tried to get help from an AI to solve this issue; the steps I've tried but did not yield any success are:

  • installing locally "xdotool" , "xclip" and "xautomation"
  • ran the ".AppImage" file from the terminal, to see if there were errors (no output) - both normal and sudo
  • ran these commands from the terminal:
    sudo usermod -aG input $USER
    echo 'KERNEL=="uinput", GROUP="input", MODE="0660"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/99-uinput.rules

Note: I've just installed Diodon and it works out of the box...

Steps to Reproduce

I've built the package with this workflow file; notably, since I'm running Linux Mint 22.3 (based on Ubuntu 24.04) I've set "runs-on: ubuntu-24.04".
I've tried both the ".AppImage" as a triage, but when that didn't work I switched to the ".deb" installation (with no luck).

Expected Behavior

Pasting action.

Actual Behavior

Recopied window disappears as soon as I press Enter or click with the mouse to select what I want to paste, as if it worked (does not look like a crash, and the task stays running, as noted by the system tray icon on the taskbar).

Environment

  • OS: (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04, Linux Mint 22)
  • Desktop Environment: (e.g., GNOME, Cinnamon, KDE)
  • Display Server: (X11 / Wayland)
  • Recopied Version: (e.g., 1.0.0)
