Description
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Search for a password entry
2. Click on the Copy Value icon
3. Select Copy password or Copy username to copy a value
4. Note that the app doesn't minimize.
### Expected Result
The app should minimize , if the setting is properly configured in the settings.
If you perform the copy from "inside" a password entry, it minimizes as expected.
### Actual Result
The app indicates the value has been copied , via small green popup in the upper right of the window.
But the app doesn't minimize.
### Screenshots or Videos

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows desktop flow from a search result, using Copy password and Copy username with the minimize setting enabled. Compare it with copying from inside a password entry, where minimizing already works; done means both copy locations minimize the app and still show the copy confirmation.
