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.

Uli

When it will be available, can you tell me in which version of 
x2go(client/server) it will be fixed, 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.
