@joe@f.duriansoftware.com @slava@mathstodon.xyz But it doesn’t happen on other apps and I don’t remember ever seeing this behaviour. I just checked with TextEdit and it works as it should, two totally independent fields. Maybe Safari is failing to verify if the field is empty before copying the value from that shared clipboard? And yes this raises many privacy questions.

@arroz@mastodon.social @joe@f.duriansoftware.com Another creepy thing I noticed is that Slack reads from the clipboard when the window gains input focus. The only way I know is that if the clipboard is on my iPhone, I get the “pasting from Slava’s iPhone…” popup which blocks the whole Slack UI. I’m sure it’s just shitty coding by some “staff engineer” and nothing nefarious, but you never know these days
