#21212 new defect
Copying URL from guest to host causes the VM to crash (SharedClipboard)

Description
Host OS: Fedora Linux 36 x64 X11 (Xorg) kernel 5.19.16 Guest OS: Windows XP Professional x86 (with Microsoft Premier Extended Support Updates 'till July 2019) Bug: Copying URL from guest to host causes the VM to crash
Bug Description: When Shared Clipboard is enabled, it's possible to copy text from guest to host and vice versa, however when "particular" things like URL and other particularly formatted texts are copied (like from Chrome etc) those fail to be converted properly and therefore cannot be pasted to the host. On top of that, this might lead the guest to crash, which of course is bad.
To highlight the relevant portion of the logs, I'd say that this should give a pretty good insight:
08:37:22.815753 Shared Clipboard: Signalling host about guest clipboard data failed with VERR_NOT_FOUND 08:37:22.816014 Shared Clipboard: Signalling host about guest clipboard data failed with VERR_NOT_FOUND 08:37:22.816241 Shared Clipboard: Signalling host about guest clipboard data failed with VERR_NOT_FOUND 08:37:22.816442 Shared Clipboard: Signalling host about guest clipboard data failed with VERR_NOT_FOUND 08:37:22.816727 Shared Clipboard: Signalling host about guest clipboard data failed with VERR_NOT_FOUND 08:37:22.816894 Shared Clipboard: Signalling host about guest clipboard data failed with VERR_NOT_FOUND 08:37:52.813496 Shared Clipboard: Requesting data in format 0x1 for X11 host failed with VERR_TIMEOUT 08:37:52.813528 Shared Clipboard: Converting VBox formats 'UNICODETEXT' to 'UTF8_STRING' for X11 (idxFmtX11=1, fmtX11=3, atomTarget='UTF8_STRING') failed, rc=VERR_TIMEOUT 08:38:22.814024 Shared Clipboard: Error reading host clipboard data from X11, rc=VERR_TIMEOUT 08:38:22.814071 Shared Clipboard: Reading host clipboard data failed with VERR_TIMEOUT 08:38:22.814101 Shared Clipboard: Requesting data in format 0x1 for X11 host failed with VERR_TIMEOUT 08:38:22.814156 Shared Clipboard: Converting VBox formats 'UNICODETEXT' to 'UTF8_STRING' for X11 (idxFmtX11=1, fmtX11=3, atomTarget='UTF8_STRING') failed, rc=VERR_TIMEOUT 08:38:22.814179 Shared Clipboard: Converting X11 format 'UTF8_STRING' (idxFmtX11=1) to VBox format 0x1 failed, rc=VERR_NO_DATA
To put this into context, I was trying to copy the following URL from Chrome Canary via an RDP session from a Windows XP VM:

Virtualbox 7.0.5 r154733 Crash Logs
comment:3 by , 15 months ago
A brief update on the topic given that it's been a while since October 2022. I tested the same scenario with a new version of Virtualbox, Fedora and the linux kernel and the issue is still there:
Host OS: Fedora Linux 37 x64 X11 (Xorg) kernel 6.1.9 Guest OS: Windows XP Professional x86 (with Microsoft Premier Extended Support Updates 'till July 2019) VirtualBox Version: 7.0.7 r155584 Extensions: 7.0.7 r155584
The important bits leading to the crash:

Hi there, this bug has been reproduced and confirmed by Bushido on the forum as well, here: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=109369&sid=a0764c79237b02a00804b8039f983556
He's using Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS with Windows 10 Home 21H2 and Virtualbox 6.1.38. Looks like the issue was there in version 6.x as well.

I just had another crash today when I tried to copy a URL from Chrome Canary 116 in the VM and paste it into Slack on Linux.

Virtualbox 7.0.97 r157070 crash logs
comment:6 by , 11 months ago
According to the mods of the forum:
Scottogus:
some apps don't "copy" to the clipboard in the normal sense by shoving a bunch of text out, but instead push out a pointer to the text to be copied, and the source and destination apps communicate directly to transfer the data.
mpack:
The source app would usually be rather complex and capable of rendering data in lots of ways [...] if it's much more than a simple text editor then it probably isn't compatible. It doesn't matter if you consider the text to be unformatted - it's the nature of the editor that matters, not the nature of the text. [...] The app exposes a COM interface through which the receiving app can negotiate to have the data rendered in any way it prefers. There is almost zero chance that this can be made transparent to some random app running in a different OS on a different PC.

This is, again, what led to the crash:
