Description
Performing Windows cut & paste operations (using Ctrl+c/Ctrl+v) between VirtualBox VM and Windows frequently corrupts Windows clipboard... VirtualBox 5.1.28 r117968, Windows 10 Pro (v1703 OS Build 15063.608), RHEL 6.9 VM.
Once corruption occurs, pasting between Windows applications such as Notepad, Word or Outlook Email exhibit pages of non-printable characters. Eventually Windows 10 mouse clicks used to switch between applications stop working, Windows taskbar crashes (and won't restart), Desktop background goes black, and Windows becomes non-functional without being rebooted. Ctrl+Alt+Delete still functions and Windows Task Manager runs normally. Task Manager allows switching between applications and doing normal Windows shutdown.
