CopyQ often says <EMPTY> right after copying text

If this is a repeat of a similar issue, my apologies. Searches of this issue were not found prior to this post.

Very often I add a plain text string to the clipboard. When I switch to the target application I wish to paste to and press Ctrl+V nothing happens. Opening CopyQ from the system tray the bar at the top of the window shows "\ - CopyQ". The string just copied will display as item 1 in the clip list. It is necessary to double-click on the item or use the context menu to activate it again.

I can't replicate the issue. It is random and usually occurs with plain text from editors, a url copied from a web browser address bar or uri copied from a file manager address bar.

The expected behaviour is for the text to be active from the clipboard without instructing CopyQ to activate the item. The extra steps of opening CopyQ and reactivating the item is the major annoyance.

I am using CopyQ 7.0.0 Linux version on Kubuntu 22.04 running KDE.
