Inconsistent copy paste behavior

[nick.dap]

Host is Vista. Guest is CentOS 4.7 Latest guest additions (2.2.4r47978) installed.

Tried with GNOME Tried with KDE Tried with Eclipse Tried with Netbeans IDE Tried with Klipper on/off Issue exists in all cases and permutations

To reproduce:

1. Copy "text 1" in guest
2. Copy "text 2" in host
3. CTRL + V into Eclipse or Netbeans (Java?), incorrectly "text 1" is pasted, even though "text 2" should have been pasted
4. Middle mouse click in Netbeans/Eclipse, correctly pastes "text 2"
5. CTRL + V in Netbeans, incorrectly pastes "text 1"
6. Middle mouse click in Netbeans/Eclipse, again correctly pastes "text 2"

... ad infinitum, like you have separate clipboards for CTRL + V vs Middle click

Different use case:

1. Copy "text 1" in guest
2. Copy "text 2" in host
3. CTRL + V into Eclipse/Netbeans, incorrectly pastes "text 1"
4. CTRL + V into a "mediator", gedit, firefox, w.e, correctly pastes "text 2"
5. CTRL + V again in Eclipse or Netbeans, correctly pastes "text 2"

Not reproducible here with guest == host == Ubuntu 9.04. Can you see if you can reproduce the same thing with two consecutive copies in the guest instead of first copy guest, second host? I have seen that before with Eclipse (on real hardware), although in my case it was apparently due to the clipboard manager.

Is this still an issue with VirtualBox 3.0.4? And are you running a clipboard manager in your guest system?
