Deskflow version info

When I copy text to my clipboard on the server, the client reports it as only 4 bytes. I see there are several old closed issues on this, but it's unclear if the problem was ever fixed. I only noticed this happening recently.

Server: Deskflow: 1.25.0.0 (d4ff55d)
Qt: 6.10.0
System: Windows 11 Version 24H2

Client: Deskflow: 1.25.0.75 (023c950)
Qt: 6.10.0
System: macOS Tahoe (26.2)

Error log from MacOS client:
