Hello. Won't pollute author's report by adding my own logs unless queried by a developer.

Host (not in nested virtualisation environment): Fedora 35; kernel v. 5.16.x; Gnome 41 on X.org; VirtualBox GUI v.6.1.32_rpmfusion r149290, (Qt5.15.2). Guests: Fedora 35, Windows 10.

Note: GA installed by relying solely on this application built-in tool and therefore not by solely relying on the package present in Fedora repository that covers a similar task. Indeed that package does not serve any missing function and should then be removed; that's a separate issue, not involving this application.

  • Drag and drop: operation only working from host to guest; a denied-icon is exhibited in host, in Nautilus, when attempting to operate from guest to host.
  • Clipboard not working bidirectionally tested by copy/paste operations.
Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
