I would prefer to show an error because the user may have wanted to get a different hash, e.g. from a web site, and try again.
First, it seems clear to me that when working with the clipboard, you should always retrieve the value from clipboard as soon as possible and store it immediately and not later on retrieve the value from clipboard again.

Second, it is very unlikely that the user may have wanted to get a different hash, e.g. from a website, and try again. It is much more likely that he wants to use the same value, but with a different hash type. That's the reason you added the option to be able select the hash type. Clipboard contents may change at any given time and considerable time may have passed since the user started verification process. Your view only makes sense if for example you would have a button called "Get new value form clipboard and try again". Besides that, following your line of thought, in order to try again with the same hash type and a different hash value from clipboard, people must copy a new value to clipboard and then change the hash type to different type and then change it back again.
