Description Radek Duda 2017-01-03 16:06:29 UTC 
Description of problem:
If clipboard content with no text target is pasted to the text processor (e.g. gedit) on guest, nothing is pasted - that is ok, but copy-paste function is then somewhat blocked.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
client:
spice-gtk-0.31-8.el7.x86_64
virt-viewer-2.0-13.el7.x86_64

guest:
virt-viewer-2.0-13.el7.x86_64
spice-server-0.12.4-19.el7.x86_64
spice-vdagent-0.14.0-14.el7.x86_64


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Copy anything without text target from Client (e.g. some drawing from LibreOffice Draw)
2.Paste it to text processing application (e.g. Gedit) on Guest (ctrl+v)
3.Copy any text string from client (e.g. in Gedit)
4.Paste it to gedit in Guest

Actual results:
nothing is pasted

Expected results:
text is pasted to Gedit on Guest

Additional info:
If step 3. is substituted by
3. Copy a file in Nautilus (ctrl+c) on Client side,
path of the copied file is immediately pasted into Gedit on Guest (ctrl+v from step 2 is utilized now)



Note for testing:
clipboard content inspection (python):

import gtk
clipboard = gtk.clipboard_get()
clipboard.wait_for_targets()
Comment 1 Victor Toso 2017-02-10 14:54:34 UTC 
This seems to be reproducible upstream too (taking in consideration that we will rebase spice-gtk)

There is a distinction between ctrl+c and selection. Following the steps in comment #0, the text selection stop working in step 3, but if you try with ctrl+c (client) and ctrl+v (guest), it works, correct?

This seems to be a client side.

No I use only ctrl+c and ctrl+v for copying/pasting
