Description
This happened multiple times when pasting from both a Chrome and Safari window in OS X 10.10.4 (host) into Windows 7 Ultimate N (guest) on both 4.x and 5.x versions of Virtualbox.
Strangely it seemed to happen less often with Safari but that could just be a coincidence because sometimes it would not happen at all, however each time I was copying the exact same text, a C# class from a github raw file view.
Another note is that if I did not copy a second time, the paste would always be the same and contain the same extra/strange characters on the end, however it would never be in the clipboard on the mac/host side, only on the windows/guest side.
I tried posting this before by including the strange text and I received errors that my post was not long enough (and then lost my entire post :oops: ) so I am including these as images now to hopefully prevent this issue...
oh please disregard the part about me posting before and having the post rejected because that was when I was trying to submit to forum which I ultimately failed to do because it wouldn't let me post URLs to the images on my first day as a user... just forgot to remove that part when moving to bug reporter instead
