Description Aleksey Lazar 2007-09-19 16:35:12 UTC

When certain applications are run within Windows XP (in my case Fireworks CS3), the copy/paste buffer gets corrupted and instead of the copied text I get ŸŸ. As soon as the offending application within the virtualbox is closed, copy/paste works again. More is described on http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/611/. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open virtualbox 1.5.0-(r1), Run office or fireworks cs3 (maybe some other apps)
2. Try copy/pasting
3.

Actual Results:  
pastes ŸŸ (nice that copy/pasting ŸŸ actually works :)

Expected Results:  
text copied is pasted

Hi, this bug was confirmed by upstream and is fixed in version 1.5.2.
In addition upstream said that this version will be available soon.

Okay, upstream definitely is aware of this, then we can tag it as such
