Workflow is causing Alfred to run multiple times

[patrickloonstra]

It seems that your awesome workflow is causing Alfred to run multiple times. Which results in the text expender to past 3 times the output I need.

It is exactly the same at described here: https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/11957-alfred-pastes-the-same-snippet-multiple-times/

Hi @patrickloonstra 👋,

I'm super happy that someone (except me) is using this, however, I'm sorry there might be such a bug. Although I'm not using anything special.

Could you please provide steps how to reproduce it? 🙏

I'm getting it just by running Alfred 3 and using emoj repeatedly.

@garthk emoj? This extension is using e as a keyword. 🤔

Interesting - heads up that I had the same symptoms and came here from the same alfredforum post (https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/11957-alfred-pastes-the-same-snippet-multiple-times/?tab=comments#comment-63483) but am actually seeing this issue triggered in another alfred-emoji workflow (this one: https://github.com/janclarin/emoji-alfred-workflow), not this one.

(So consider this a recommendation that folks double check that this is the right repo for the workflow you're using!)

Came here to say, I'm using another workflow that was built off of Alfy, and the same thing is happening to me. I can even get it up to 4 instances sometimes before I notice.

This has to be something in the Alfy integration that needs to be fixed.

Thanks so much, @deanishe!
