Anki duplicating automatic text

Anki Desktop
1

Hello!

In my Anki setup I usually end questions with a few sentences: that is, I repeat the same sentence in several questions. One such example is: “Comment on this statement.”. For this reason I also use AutoKey, with it, I put an acronym there and that acronym becomes the phrase I want. When using this same feature with the new Anki, the sentence is being duplicated:

This did not happen before the update and is not happening in other applications: in other words, it is something related to Anki. I’m now going back to the previous version of it, but it would be nice if I could understand why this is happening and know if there is anything that can be done.

Does it happen in both the qt6 and qt5 versions of Anki?

3

yes! It happens with the qt5 or qt6 version

If it started recently, it sounds like some sort of incompatibility between Anki’s current clipboard handling and that tool. I don’t use X11 so I am not able to test this. You could try building Anki from source, and bisecting recent changes to see what triggered the change.
