Describe the bug Sometimes, when an application is closed, CopyQ will display a notification showing the text that was last copied to the clipboard in that application.

To Reproduce I wish I had reliable STR for this one, but although I can't reproduce this 100% of the time, these are the general STR:

  1. Open an application (e.g. Firefox)
  2. Copy something to the clipboard with the application
  3. Perform a bunch of tasks in the application for 2-10 minutes
  4. Close the application
  5. Notice that CopyQ will now display a notification showing the text that was last copied to the clipboard in that application

Expected behavior CopyQ to only display notification when an item is copied to the clipboard.
