Steps to reproduce

Noticed copied text randomly appearing in Slack chat input box - without any action on my part, which is a bit alarming. It wasn't even because I pasted text into another Slack channel. Slack support team responded very quickly to advise turning off Advanced Paste as a workaround, and suggested I contact PowerToys support for a fix.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Advanced Paste should not randomly paste text into Slack

❌ Actual Behavior

Advanced Paste is randomly pasting text into Slack. No pattern observed yet

While we don't release a hotfix, the current workaround for this is setting shortcuts for "Paste as Markdown" and "Paste as JSON" in Advanced Paste settings. That will make the issue go away.
