Host Gentoo Linux 64 bin KDE5 virtualbox 5



With Windows 10 guest and linux host, selecting VBox ‘Shared Clipboard – Bidirectional’ disables internal guest copy/paste functionality of all but text.

With VBox ‘Shared Clipboard’ set to bidirectional it is not possible to copy Formulas within an Excel spread sheet. It appears to affect the Windows ‘copy’ functionality, only allowing text values onto the clipboard.

Host Gentoo Linux 64 bin KDE5 virtualbox 5.1.8 ; Guest Windows10 64 bit version 1607

Also tested against Windows 10 32 bit version 1607 and Windows 8.1 32 bit. Both are affected.
