I thought this thread had a familiar ring to it. Clipboard related problems, especially coexistence with other tools, seem to be endemic to Qt. I used to encounter quite a few issues in Sigil and calibre.

FWIW I now use Clipboard Fusion, a clipboard swiss army knife. Not had any problems since the developers added a couple of features to do what I once did with three tools. I use it on Windows and Android. It also runs on MacOS, Linux and iOS, it uses sqlite as its x-platform glue.
