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**

**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.
