Thanks! This sounds a bit like a off-by-one problem in the clipboard code.

However, to break this down further I want to rule out some components. First, can you please verify if this is somehow reproducable on a Linux client?

The bidirectional clipboard mode doesn't break with the Linux x2goclient, in either MATE desktop or Plasma 4 desktop. I'm using x2goclient v4.1.1.1 on Fedora 27 client machine.

Next I would like to try and take x2go out of the equation:

• run vcxsrv on windows (vcxsrv.exe -multiwindow -ac :121)
• ssh to the Linux server (e.g. with putty) and point the DISPLAY variable to the VcXsrv on windows (export DISPLAY=:<windowsmachine>:121) Note: you might have to disable the windows firewall
• run nxagent -ac :123 in the shell on the server -> you will get the nxagent window on you Windows desktop
• in a second shell on the server point the DISPLAY variable to :123 and start the MATE session (export DISPLAY=:123; STARTUP=mate-session dbus-run-session /etc/X11/Xsession) Now repeat your editor tests.

I used PuTTY's X11 forwarding/tunneling to do this. The bidirectional clipboard mode breaks in the same way with this method in both MATE desktop and Plasma 4 desktop.
