Hi,

In the latest nightly builds, the behavior when pasting an image from the system clipboard (copied from outside Krita) affects layer selection differently if I use the ctrl+V shortcut instead of using the menu button (Edit -> paste), while it shoud be the same.

To reproduce :

Take a full or partial screeenshot of your desktop.
In Krita, in a document with one layer called "Paint Layer 1" selected, paste the clipboard content with the edit menu: "Edit" -> "Paste". A new layer is created with the data from the previously made screenshot, and this new layer is now the selected one. This is the expected result.
But, if instead of pasting the clipboard image content through the edit menu, you choose to paste it wit the ctrl+V shortcut, the result is different: it still creates the new layer correctly, but both this new layer and the previous one (Paint Layer 1) end up selected. And if you keep hitting ctrl+V it continues to expand the layer selection with each new layer.

This only happens when pasting clipboard content from outside Krita, and with the ctrl+v shortcut. When copy/pasting layers from one Krita file to the other (or inside the same file) the behavior is fine: only the last copy of the layer is selected.

Tested on Krita 5.3.0-prealpha (git f49c72d), on both Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.3 and Windows 11
I think I noticed it a few weeks back in a nightly, but I didn't keep any older build where this worked. I think in early December or late November this still worked fine in the nightlies (as it does in the last official release).
