Description

I found one clipboard issue when working on the remote server over the apache guacamole client built from the latest source.

 

The test case follows as below:

1. Connect to the remote server (Windows 10, 64bit) via the Apache Guacamole Client.
2. In the remote server, open NotePad, type some text, press Ctrl+A to select all text, copy it by pressing Ctrl+C.
3. In the remote server, open WordPad and press Ctrl+V to paste the clipboard.
4. In the remote server, open Paint, draw any shapes, press CTrl+A to select all, and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
5. In the remote server, select WordPad to press Ctrl+V to paste the clipboard.
6. In the client computer, move the focus from Chrome with the opened guacamole client to another application.
7. In the client computer, move back to the guacamole client page of Chrome.
8. In the remote server, select WordPad to press Ctrl+V to paste the clipboard.

 

In step 8, we can see the issue.

That's, we can't paste the image, but can paste only the text copied in the previous step.

 

When performed the above test case in the FreeRDP (xfreerdp) and the MS RDP client (mstsc.exe), I can't see this issue.

 

For more information, please see the attached video files.

 

Thanks.
