A couple of things to try to verify this: 1) If you use the Edit -> Copy and/or Edit-> Paste menu within the guest/remote system, rather than trying the hotkey, does the clipboard work and sync up? 2) If you turn on the on-screen keyboard and use the hotkeys, there, does it correctly trigger the remote system to paste? I'm not suggesting these as solutions, just ways to narrow down the problem. -Nick
