Out of desperation, I now tried to enable "Ignore selection" (I don't really use that feature anyway) in my Clipboard settings on KDE on both Host and Guest, and see if that changes anything (while still using the big fix for the time being).
I am trying that because I noticed that often, when the bug occurs, the guest's clipboard contains sequence of bits of pasted text that get longer and longer, sometimes from the beginning of the text and sometimes from the end... and that seems to suggest that it's related to my target text being progressively selected over time. I'll let you know if this changes anything. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to spice-vdagent in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872527 Title: Clipboard doesn't work 100% of the time in Ubuntu 20.04 (in KVM guests) Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in spice package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in spice-protocol package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in spice-vdagent package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in virt-manager package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in spice-protocol source package in Focal: Incomplete Status in spice-vdagent source package in Focal: Incomplete Status in spice-vdagent package in Debian: Fix Released Status in spice package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/linux/vd_agent/issues/9 --- I'm testing Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) Beta. I installed Kubuntu 20.04 and virt-manager as I did many times on Ubuntu 18.04. Unfortunatelly when I run a VM (QEMU-KVM, libvirt, libspice-server1 and spice-vdagent) with another Kubuntu 20.04 guest or with Ubuntu 20.04 guest then clipboard doesn't work right. To test it, please install Kubuntu 20.04 and then install Kubuntu / Ubuntu 20.04 as VM (guest). Open some simple text editor and start Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V plain text. 90% of time it will work and 10% of time it won't.
