Cause of issue! Fixed by unchecking 'Synchronise the contents of clipboard and the selection
comment:1 by , 8 years ago
My apologies. This was caused by me checking 'Synchronise the contents of clipboard and the selection' in the plasma 'Configure Clipboard' dialog.
See attached file 'Virtualbox Copy-Paste-Special Issue-Fix.doc'. Un-checking this fixed the issue. Hopefully this 'bug' might help others with the same issue.
