Sometimes, it pastes text before the selected entry is actually copied to the clipboard #69

First of all, thanks for this app! It's probably the most useful one on my system right now!

For me, everything works great, except for some small issue that happens sometimes. I realize the root of this might actually be something in Gala, but I think it is not that hard to solve within this app.

What happens is the following situation:

  1. I have the text "Avocado" on my clipboard currently
  2. I click into a text field, open Clipped with Super+V, and select the text "Guacamole"
  3. Clipped window closes
  4. The text "Avocado" is pasted in the text field (the one I had before using Clipped!)
  5. If I do Ctrl+V after this, it correctly pastes "Guacamole"

So, what I get from this behavior is that, for some reason, the text is being pasted before the selected entry is actually added to the clipboard. This might be caused by some delay in the clipboard API? I'm not sure. But I think the fix would just involve making sure the clipboard was changed before doing the paste action.
