Is there some kind of clipboard debugger? Something that will allow visbility into what exactly is happening with the clipboard data?

I am absolutely agree with your point. I have been researching on this and will let you know if I found something interesting. I am wondering if it is happening because of some other application and it is breaking the clipboard chain then why after restarting VNC Viewer makes it works again? Other thing is, I never faced issue in copy pasting within VNC to VNC and VNC to Windows but it happens intermittently from Windows to VNC only. When clipboard chain is break by some application but still VNC is able to successfully setting clipboard again when you copy some contents from VNC window. And you can paste it in Windows. I think once this happened then again clipboard chain should start (as clipboard is same for windows and VNC). Shouldn' t it? Let me know if you could suggest some points to avoid this problem so that we could include it in next version of VNC release.
