Description

Hello, I am finding a very strange behavior, I couldnt find the right pattern as sometimes it happens sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes I copy text for example from Poe.com output from an LLM or other sources, when I paste them in something else like a Google Docs, or an Apple Notes text note, the text is either or pasted without any formatting, or with lots of Chinese characters. I closed Maccy and the paste worked perfectly. So I am assuming this seems to be a bug in Maccy. Thanks for having a look.
