[Bug] Tag splitting UI not triggered when pasting Korean text (Zotero 8.0.3)

Title: [Bug] Tag splitting UI not triggered when pasting Korean text (Zotero 8.0.3)

I am reporting an issue where the "Split Tags" dialog does not appear when pasting Korean text with delimiters, unlike English. This has been confirmed on macOS and is likely affecting Windows as well due to the shared input logic.

[Environment]
- Zotero Version: 8.0.3
- OS: macOS (Confirmed) / Windows (Expected)

[Comparison of Behaviors]

1. Pasting English (Working as expected)
- Copy: apple, banana, cherry
- Paste into Tag field: "Split Tags" popup APPEARS.

2. Pasting Korean (Bug)
- Copy: 사과, 바나나, 체리
- Paste into Tag field: No popup appears. The entire string is saved as one tag.

3. Using Line Breaks (Working for both)
- Typing tags and pressing Enter to create new lines: Both English and Korean split correctly without a popup (intended behavior).

[Conclusion]
The paste event listener seems to fail in parsing delimiters (comma, semicolon) specifically when the string contains non-Latin/IME characters like Korean.

I am not a developer, but I have systematically tested these cases. This inconsistency significantly slows down the workflow for non-English users. Please let me know if you need a Debug ID.
