More info
- Sometime the freeze will end after a long time waiting.
- I think this issue exists very long time ago, even when Shotcut was using a old version of QT.
- Other applications like xed and pulsar don't have this issue so I don't think my system is broken.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the freeze using Shotcut 25.07.26 on Linux Mint 22.1 with the system open/save dialog, following the listed clipboard steps. No source file or test is identified in the issue; done means cut, copy, and paste in the filename field no longer freeze Shotcut or the dialog.
