Bug#1422: Clipboard copy-paste not reliable in Windows 10 (x2goclient) to Linux CentOs (x2goserver)
Package: x2goserver Version: =4.1.0.3 Tags: clipboard copy paste
Environment x2goclient: Windows 10 17763, x2goclient x2goclient-4.1.2.0-2018.06.22-setup.exe <https://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/releases/4.1.2.0-2018.06.22/x2goclient-4.1.2.0-2018.06.22-setup.exe>
Environement x2goserver: Linux CentOs 7.7, x2goserver-4.1.0.3-3.el7.x86_64.rpm <https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/x/x2goserver-4.1.0.3-3.el7.x86_64.rpm>
Dear all,
The clipboard in the past versions until now are not really reliable. Many times I have to close the x2goclient window, and reconnect to make it work again. I have some issue to find a reproduce way, but it is occurs oftenly. When it is broken, I can copy paste in CentOs, but not from it to Windows. But then in Windows I can copy paste too, but only from it, as if there were two clipboard. Sometime, it symptom is different: there is a freeze of 3s when in CentOs it tries to copy or to paste from Windows. Sometime, the paste in Windows simply paste nothing, or just a space, but it still work in CentOs.
Clipboard is very handy when it works, so this issue is very inconvenient, sometime I have to close/open the x2goclient many times a day because of this issue. Also, changing clipboard mode from client to server only does not seems to work better. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Antoine

I have done some work on the clipboard code (again), so hopefully the next nx version (3.5.99.23) will improve the situation. I am not really sure why the situation has become worse in recent times (as I conclude from various reports). Please ensure you do _not_ have a clipboard manager running in CentOS. This it not supported an will cause unexpected problems.

Thank you!

I didn't know about clipboard manager. This should be written in https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:de-compat I guess. Anyway, I use Kde4, and it turns out that Klipper is enabled by default. But even when I disable it, I reproduce the issue.
