Consider you have something like shown in my screenshot.
If I have this 1Password window in the foreground, and I do a clean click on the "text", it says "copied text" at the bottom, and copies it to my clipboard. I can then switch to whatever app I want and ctrl-v to paste it in. That's fine.
However, if I don't do a nice clean click (for example, if I press the mouse button down, but then move the mouse more than a few pixels before lifting my finger), the 1Password app goes to the background, and I'm left holding my mouse button down, knowing that as soon as I release it, this text is going to be dropped in whatever window happens to be there.
Further, it's not just pasting it, it's simulating typing it in, including carriage returns etc.
So, for example, if I accidently do this, and there happens to be a chat window in the background, it could start typing it all in and sending it.
Or, if you have a form or input box in the background, it will start trying to enter the text into the form and hitting enter.
