Using Windows Clipboard history in script fields results in double paste

All my scripts for Illustrator have this problem. When i try to paste information from Clipboard history to a field, the results are double pasted. Only thing I found was a similar problem in dreamweaver here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/dreamweaver-discussions/copy-amp-paste-using-win-v-results-in-text-being-pasted-twice/m-p/12907773#M218262

Maybe this is more of a Windows problem, than Adobe?

ok, it could be an illustrator issue.

I just tried v24.3 on Win 11 and I see the double paste.

As a workaround, press & hold the Shift key before pasting to get single paste

Let me know if that combo works on Win 10

are you trying to paste into a ScriptUI field? I can't replicate the problem using Win 11 and ai v 27.0 it works fine

Yup, any kind of ScriptUI field i use, the double paste occurs. I am using Win 10 and ai 24.2.1. Also tried 26.0.3 and the same problem occured.
