------------------------------------------------------------------
I can say that I routinely use clipboard integration in my environment, with
multiple RDP connections, and I do not see this behavior - I'm able to copy and
paste both from Guacamole -> RDP Server and from RDP Server -> Guacamole, with
or without text selected (very often with text selected - like a URL path in a
browser or a UNC path in Windows Exploder). I don't use VS Code or Jupyter
within my remote systems - it's usually just Windows Exploder, NotePad, perhaps
a browser inside the VM, etc., but I have not encountered that behavior. I'm
also using Google Chrome, primarily, on the client-side.
Not to say [~barabo], that you're not seeing this - I believe you - just that
something else must be going on to contribute to the behavior you're seeing.

> Key: GUACAMOLE-2133
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-2133
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.5.3, 1.6.0
> Reporter: Carl Anderson
> Priority: Minor
>
> I've only been able to test this on our prod (1.5.3) and dev (1.6.0)
> environments, but I see it in both places when using Chrome and Firefox.
> This issue may exist in other versions.
> Steps to reproduce:
> * Outside of guacamole: copy text to clipboard
> * Inside guacamole, within a visual text editor such as vscode or jupyter:
> select text you wish to replace with the clipboard contents
> * Press Ctrl-V to paste
> Expected behavior:
> * selected text is replaced with clipboard contents
> Actual behavior:
> * pause of 2-3 seconds
> * selected text is deleted
> * clipboard has been updated to match the text selection that was deleted
> Everything seems to work normally when the clipboard source content
> originates from within the guacamole-accessed VM. It only seems to be
> problematic when pasting from an external source.
> Also, if there is no text selected when pasting, the paste operates as
> expected. So, the workaround is trivial. We can select the text to replace,
> delete it by pressing 'del', and then paste normally.
