Description
Hi,
Thanks for this amazing tool. I use it everyday since long time.
**Describe the bug**
Ubuntu is asking for Remote Desktop sharing on clip selection when I copy paste on all my applications
**To Reproduce**
1. Open copyq with a keyboard shortcut
2. Select a clip
**Expected behavior**
Text copied to clipboard, but no Remote Desktop pop-up
**Screenshots**
**Version, OS and Environment**
```

**Additional context**
Since Ubuntu 26.04, Wayland is mandatory and this behavior happen. It has been reported on another issue #2565 but only on Fedora and in the issue, script mentioned in the solution or using `env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb copyq` do not work anymore nor exists.
Thanks ❤️

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the listed keyboard-shortcut and clip-selection steps on Ubuntu Wayland, then inspect `copyq logs` or Help > Show Log. Compare the behavior and workaround history in issue #2565, and use the reported environment details to narrow the Wayland path. Done means selecting a clip no longer triggers the Remote Desktop sharing prompt while clipboard copying still works.
