Shared clipboard : bidirectional mode causes host clipboard malfunctions
| Reported by: | Studio | Owned by: | |

| Component: | clipboard | Version: | VirtualBox 5.1.28 |

| Guest type: | Linux | Host type: | Windows |
Description
Windows 10 host Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) guest
When the Shared Clipboard is set to Bidirectional, the following issues manifest on the Windows 10 host:
- In Excel, copy cell, paste to multiple cells (select range of cells and paste) does not work
- In Office applications, copy/paste of formatted text does not work; only the text is copied
If Shared Clipboard is set to any of the other three options (Disabled, Host to Guest, or Guest to Host) then the problem does not manifest itself and the above functionality works properly.
This is reproducible at will.
I also noticed this issue on a Windows 7 host running a Linux VM.
