Virtualbox shared clipboard doesn't work if I copy paste a large string from host to guest.

Through some trial and error I determined it seems to break when I go over 512 characters of string length.

Is this a know limitation? Can I increase it somehow? 512 char limit is very low, most configuration files are larger than that.

Update of VirtualBox GuestAdditions should solve your issue.

    Do you have a reference, say on Virtualbox forum? Which version was this fixed in? This bug is filed under ticket 19314 on their issue tracker. The last comment says, it's still not resolved. – Kshitiz Sharma Oct 28 '20 at 20:05

    Hi, In my case I was upgrading VBox 6.0.12 -> 6.1.14 and faced the aforementioned issue. Applying the latest GuestAdditions from 6.1.14 solved it. – mar2dev Oct 30 '20 at 07:42
  • Version 6.1.8 works as well – Kurt Fitzner Feb 02 '22 at 17:40
