KM Clipboard Filter + Alfred Weirdness

EDIT: NOW SOLVED - It was the Menu Bar Search Workflow installed in Alfred that was being mysteriously triggered. Disabling it stops the behavior. Thank you!

----------------- Original:
Hello: I've been using KM for awhile, well over a year. And I frequently use the pre-built Clipboard Filters. I keep the palette on my Mac Menu Bar for easy access. I've also been using Alfred for years and have never had any compatibility issue between the two. I'm using KM 11.0.4 and Alfred 5.6.2 [2296] on a MacBook Pro running macOS 15.4.1.

Within the last few weeks, I've been having this very strange experience where, as soon as I choose a Clipboard Filter such as "Uppercase" or "Title Case", KM performs the action but also immediately triggers Alfred. But not just the Alfred interface. It triggers something in Alfred that shows App-specific hints? Tips? Shortcuts?

I didn't know this was possible, and don't know how to trigger the information manually. I'm not even sure how to go about tracking down this weirdness. So I thought I'd post my question here knowing some of you use both Apps and may be able to give me more information to start pursuing a solution.

I'm attaching screenshots. For example, if I'm in Apple Notes and trigger "Uppercase", Alfred is invoked and shows:

And if I'm in Safari, and trigger "Uppercase", Alfred is invoked and shows:

And if I'm in the Alfred App and choose "Uppercase", Alfred is invoked and shows:

But I've done nothing to the original KM macros:

Any help, advice, guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm on all the same versions of Alfred, KM, and macOS. I've never encountered this behaviour before, but I tried to reproduce it and couldn't. I dug through Alfred's settings trying to figure out how to get this behaviour on purpose and couldn't, which makes me think maybe you have a workflow that's being triggered somehow? Assuming that KM is in fact triggering something in Alfred, it would help to know exactly what in Alfred is being triggered, so it might be worth asking in the Alfred forum as well (in the case it isn't a workflow).

Thank you! I appreciate you trying to replicate it. :slight_smile:
