[BUG] Can't detach / fork using ampersand (&) syntax in user scripts

[scrouthtv]

Version

Version: 1.6.0

Configuration

https://gist.github.com/scrouthtv/b7ad1158ecb7af2ef1957e4d79ce36a6

Launch Command

~ rofi

Steps to reproduce

• Step 1: Paste the following into ~/git/rofi-scripts/emoji4rofi.sh.old

  
  #!/bin/bash

if [[ -z "$@" ]]; then echo a echo b echo c echo d else

xdotool type --clearmodifiers "$@" doesn't work because rofi still has focus at this point

(sleep 1s; xdotool type --clearmodifiers "$emo") &!

fi

- Step 2: Open a program that can accept text (vim, browser, notepad, etc) and open rofi
- Step 3: Select anything from the emoji category

## What behaviour you see

- nothing happens for 1 second
- text isn't inserted anywhere

## What behaviour you expect to see

- rofi closes instantly as the part in parantheses beginning with `sleep 1s` is forked to a new process and detached
- text is inserted in the program that can accept text after 1 second
