pop-up message

SUMMARY
I get a pop-up about ctrl-v /  ctrl-c as the attachment shows. Why?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open a text file in  KWrite Version 25.08.3
2. Copy a text from some other place, web, or anywhere
3. Do ctrl-v in the text file. Or even ctrl-c from within the text file and you get the pop-up

OBSERVED RESULT
I get a popup and the text is not pasted

EXPECTED RESULT
No popup and having ctrl-v /  ctrl-c work per usual

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: CachyOS x86_64 Linux 6.17.9-2-cachyos
KDE Plasma Version: KDE Plasma 6.5.3
KDE Frameworks Version: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This started for some weeks back. I have only updated my OS CachyOS nothing else. 
I set major as severity as this is basic functionality and its broken so its a hassle to use the product. That is my view atleast but please do adjust if you dont agree.

keyboard binding

I dont see what the issue is from key bindings...

what keyboard layout are you using? 

can you try enabling all logging by doing:

export QT_LOGGING_RULES="*=true"
kate -b -n &> logs

Then reproduce the issue and quit kate.

Hi and thanks for the help. 
I added screenshot of keyboard. Went to take the log but it was for kate and not KWrite which is where i saw the problem. Funny enough i did a update this morning and rebooted and not it dont give the same error....i suggest keeping this open a bit longer and i will get back once or if the issue pops up. 
How do i get the logs for kWrite so i can provide that? 

Cheers!

Reproduce the issue and then quit kwrite. Upload the "logs" file here.
