Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Clipy/Clipy/issues/478

I have Clipy configured to keep 10 items.

In German:
Einstellungen… / Allgemein / Zwischenablagenverlauf / Maximale Anzahl 10 Einträge

In English probably:
Settings… / General / Clipboard History / Maximum number 10 items

I am also making use of the beta feature to delete individual items from the history.
(Note: This bug report is imho not a problem of the new feature, but rather exposed by the new feature.)

To reproduce:
I have a history of 10 items and delete one.

Expected:
I see a history of 9 and one empty slot.

Actual:
I see a new entry "out of the blue" appear and fill the empty slot.

I conclude from that, that Clipy actually keeps a history longer than 10.
Beyond the fact that this is "unexpected", it is a potential data security issue, if there is a hidden history, that the user is unaware of.
