Description
**Describe the bug**
**To Reproduce**
1. Create or open your imdb list (page like `https://www.imdb.com/list/ls…/edit/`).
2. Add something to it.
3. Click "Add a note."
4. Activate the CopyQ paste dialog.
5. The input field will lose focus, editing mode will end, and the message "List item description was successfully updated" will appear.
**Expected behavior**
5. The input field will remain in focus and text can be inserted.
This is exactly how Windows Clipboard Manager behaves.
**Version, OS and Environment**
> Get details from `copyq version` command, or copy from the CopyQ main window:
> 1. Open Action dialog (F5 shortcut).
> 2. Enter command: `copyq: copy(version)`
> 3. Click OK - the details should be copied to the system clipboard.
> 4. Paste the details in the report.
It doesn't work. The buffer is empty after running the command.
