Works between host and guest in my test machine now. But it refuses to release the clipboard so I can't copy in firefox now. It stays with the value I got from the guest.

Neither via mark and copy nor via "copy link location" I only get what the guest had.

And does it release the clipboard if you kill VBoxClient --clipboard in the guest?

I can't reproduce this here. Could you provide me with a recipe? It may be a Mac host-only thing of course.

Does not release clipboard in osx. Works fine with same vdi on windows. Can't give recipe. I will try some settings and might get back tomorrow otherwise we'll have to wait and see if others report it.
