    Start with a list that has pinned items at top and then paste them into a document by double clicking on a pinned item. This will put the pinned item in CopyQ below the pinned items area and then theses duplicate pinned items are now themselves pinned in this new area and take up addiotnal space.

    I cannot reproduce this. For me, the pinned items do not move (as expected) if activated.

    Can you reproduce this with the latest version?
