1.0.6 overwrites xclip clipboard buffer #831

Description

Whenever I put the cursor (old sense - the thing that tells you where the letters you type or paste will appear) in any field in Spacefm 1.0.6, like the field that shows the /path/to/dir or the dialog that renames a file, spacefm immediately over-writes the xclip clipboard buffer with an arbitrary numeric string. I've been told this is a bug of long standing and relates to clipboard ownership, but I can't find a report. Also, I don't think it started until recently, so something in my system must have changed that brought it out. This is Lubuntu 24.04 in the plain Openbox environment.

I know the project is dead and I have tried, so far without success, to compile thermitegod's fork. But putting this here might inspire somebody to suggest a work-around. The only thing I can think of is to use copyq with this, but that's a horrible resource hog.
