Clipboard sharing suddenly stops working in reccent release

Description
VB 6.1.10 r138449 the host is Ubuntu 18.04.04. Shared clipboard periodically stops working on guests after many hours of working. There is no new lines in the virtual machine log file after the event. If two guests are running it may stop working only for one of them and still works fine on another one. I've observed this on different guests Win10, Linux, WinXP, so this is probably a bug on the host side. Interestingly restart of the guests brings feature back into operational state.
It seams you are changing the code of the shared clipboard infrastructure due to multiple crash reports #19226 and I would say that the most stable release so far was VB 6.1.8. It didn't crash on copy&paste (not as often as previous releases) and the shared clipboard is again broken in the current VB 6.1.10.
