Description

Describe the bug

When DT 4.2.1 is in use, after a while the clipboard in windows stop copying from eg: MS one note won't copy any text (Eg text in OneNote itself) the paste button won't work because it won't copy anything. Or MS Edge won't copy anything eather. I close DarkTable and the clipboard start working again. Even if I empty the clipboard, I can't copy any text or image.
I also use the external Editor script, I can't tell if it does come from the script or not.
I nerver had that issue before installing DarkTable.

Steps to reproduce

Start Darktable. Work on it, copy and paste from browser to oneNOte.
It does not start right away. But eventually it won't copy anymore to the clipboard.

Expected behavior

To copy and paste text and image from any browser to oneNote.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the clipboard failure on Windows 10 with darktable 4.2.1 while copying between a browser and OneNote. Compare behavior with the external Editor script disabled, then collect a diagnostic log or other evidence that isolates darktable from the script; done means identifying the responsible component and documenting or fixing the failure.
