Describe the bug
Concerning the 3.3.0 update's "Copy-Paste Overhaul". Before 3.3.0, the app stores copied values related to clips (entire clips/effects/keyframes, via right-click menu, or entire clip using Ctrl C) internally, and these values can be retrieved later using paste (right-click menu or Ctrl V). In 3.3.0, the app dumps the copied values into the ChromeOS system's clipboard, which is pointless as the app apparently can't retrieve the values from the system clipboard afterwards. Proof: After copying things, Ctrl V does nothing, and right-click menu doesn't have "paste" option. This is how the app normally behaves when nothing yet has been copied/can't paste there.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Right-click a clip that has effects or keyframes.
  2. Click on 'Copy'
  3. Copy the clip.
  4. Attempt to paste the clip by right-click in empty space on the timeline. (menu if present does not have "Paste")
  5. Attempt to paste the clip using Ctrl V. (does nothing)
  6. View the system's clipboard using Search+V. All the clip's data are there instead of inside Openshot, which was the case before 3.3.0.

Expected behavior
4. Right-click menu is supposed to have "Paste" (because the app thinks there's nothing to paste, it won't appear)
5. Ctrl V is supposed to produce the clip at the playhead.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
7. Copy effects/keyframes from the clip.
8. Attempt to paste effects/keyframes onto another click by right-click menu. (menu does not have "Paste")
9. View the system's clipboard again. Effect/keyframe data are in the clipboard instead of inside Openshot.

Expected behavior
8. Right-click menu is supposed to have "Paste"

Please confirm that this issue exists in the production version of v3.3.0 and not the daily. I don't have ChromeOS to test and confirm and hopefully someone else can confirm.

I am not in front of my computer now. I do have Ubuntu and Mint in a guest virtual environment that I will test the Copy / Paste functionality and report back.

I tested CTRL+C & CTRL+V in Ubuntu 24.04 lts and Linux Mint and had zero issues. Do you run any other application(s) in the Linux environment other than OpenShot? If yes, does the CTRL+C & V work in that application?
