#529 closed defect (fixed)

Bi-directional cut-and-paste breaks Ubuntu host clipboard -> should be fixed in 1.4.2

Description

I have an Ubuntu Feisty host, running WinXP guest.

Turning on bi-directional cut-and-paste breaks the Ubuntu host clipboard completely, for all applications. Clipboard contents are corrupted or changed into dots when pasted.

Changing the VB cut-and-paste setting to "host to guest" fixes the problem.

This is most likely fixed in the current SVN build and the upcoming 1.4.2, which contain a lot of clipboard fixes for Linux hosts and guests. It should still be compatible with the Additions for 1.4.0 (I am not absolutely certain of that), although you will not get the Linux guest fixes in that case of course.
