Expansion not working half of the time

This is odd. Just recently bought the license. Using 4.30 portable.
When I try to expand in Whatsapp for Windows and in "Your Smartphone" half of the time the expansion does not do anything.
meaning I put in the string say: "pa1#" and it does not output anything

This is very frustrating! How can I fix this?

Does the same string expands in Notepad?
If yes, try setting a Key Delay to 80-100ms in Preferences/Text Expander/Advanced.

I think I nailed it down to one thing: if I have the %clipboard% variable in it the expansion fails almost all the time. I tossed the clipboard variable out and now it works WAY better.
Now I do get a hick up here and now where pa2# would not expand at all. It would just do nothing. I would type in pa2# and the text would remain like this.

Is there anything I can do against this?
