clipboard host->guest copy/paste fails if rdp active => Fixed in 1.6.6

Description

I have virtualbox-1.5.6-28266_Ubuntu_gutsy (on an Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy host, naturally) and a Freshly installed CentOS 5.0 guest with Linux guest additions. I've enabled the bidirectional clipboard and it works fine.

However, copy/pasting from the host to the guest does not work in rdp sessions (I'm using rdesktop). The menu item and keyboard shortcut for paste simply don't do anything. Copy/pasting from the guest to the host works fine.

Also, when an rdp session is opened in addition to VirtualBox's own guest window, copy/pasting ceases to work in VirtualBox's own guest window. When the rdp session is closed, copy/paste resumes to work correctly.

So far I've used only local rdp sessions.

I can confirm this to the point that I have only used rdesktop-vrdp so far, and the clipboard just does not work. My setup: Headless server running 64-bit Ubuntu 7.10 and Virtulbox binaries version 1.5.6. Guests are either WinXP or Win2000 with guest additions installed. Client runs 32-bit Kubuntu 7.10 and rdesktop-vrdp over ethernet. Copy/paste guest from/to client (either primary or secondary clipboard) does not work. Enabling or disabling bidirectional clipboard in VB settings doesn't make any difference.

I can confirm as well I see this same issue with a Windows XP guest with OpenSUSE 10.3 as the host and running the guest in VRDP mode when pasting from the host to the guest through rdesktop. The target application running inside the guest operating system locks up and when shutting down the Windows XP guest the "VBoxSharedClipboardClass" is not responding and must be killed.

As well with VirtualBox 1.5.6 guest additions installed (forgot to include that previously my apologies).

Did you check 1.6.0?

Yes this is the case in 1.6.0 also (just upgraded).
