There is no clipboard cleaning at this level. Just test and it works fine. Check your OS settings.

Clipboard cleaning was enabled with a 0 second timer. Somehow this disabled the clipboard entirely very often.

It's normal, if you set the timer to zero, it's as if you were saying to perform the timer end actions immediately.

the issue persists even with a new timer or the setting disabled. as soon as i'm adding a new entry or start editing one, i'm not able to paste anymore.

if i keep the editing window open, can copy paste from another app. copying from a keepass entry to another is impossible.

tested with aosp keyboard and heliboard

The unintended clearing of the clipboard is triggered when you click editing/enter edit mode. But it seems to occur only when the setting clipboard notification is enabled. I tested version 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 on multiple devices, the clearing of clipboard only occurs when clipboard notification is enabled and when edit an entry.
