Slack silently copying clipboard?

I'm running Slack desktop on an Intel Macbook pro running macOS Ventura 13.5.1. Sometimes when I switch the focus back to Slack I see a dialog popup along the lines of Pasting from XXX's Macbook. I did not hit Ctrl+V, I did not right-click and select paste and no pasted text appears anywhere in Slack. It seems as if Slack is "silently" copying my clipboard. I have come across one other report of this behaviour: https://www.reddit.com/r/Slack/comments/xqgfeg/slack_for_mac_silently_copying_clipboard_contents/ I'm not sure if this related to Apple's continuity feature in someway. I'd like to understand what is going on and, if possible, disable whatever is causing the issue.
