Electrum: Request Receiving BTC (clipboard malware changing address)

[aradour]

Hello everybody! What I noticed is that when I request to receive money I have the address okay, then I copy it but its different from the one I see, should I manually put the address I see or the one I copied is still the same but like multi address for security? Never seen this before, i'm worried that If I sent the money on the copied address I will not receive them.
like Electrum shows me the address, I copy it, and it's different, I cannot scan as well. Anyone can tell me why or is it still secure that I will receive my BTC?

this is the address I see, when I copy it is 13pd7FkAaBwtg1WjuNfSy2YkdSxmAFZxAe
