Description

**Describe the bug**
When attempting to type into a terminal window by selecting an item with the enter key, CopyQ pastes to the window directly behind. This applies both to terminator and to gnome terminal

**To Reproduce**
1. switch to a web browser window
2. select a terminal window and type into it
3. pop up copyq with a keyboard shortcut (command "copyq show")
4. select item
5. press enter key

**Actual behavior**

copyq minimises and the terminal window is sent one layer behind, the typing of the selected item happens into the window behind (e.g. the web browser)

**Expected behavior**

I expected copyq to paste into the terminal window as happened for me in previous versions of Ubuntu.

**Screenshots**
can create video if needed - there's not really a single screenshot to show this

**Version, OS and Environment**
(Get details from `copyq version` command if possible.)
- Application Version 6.0.1
- OS Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
- Wayland with Gnome 42.4 with default install setup
