Not sure if copy/pasting username and password to login on the CDE GUI ever worked, but I certainly lost the ability to copy/paste into a terminal window, on both S10U11, S11.3 and S11.4 guests.
Copy/paste into a terminal window worked with S10U11 with CPU_JUL2019 + 6.0.12 guest additions, now with CPU_JAN2020 + 6.1.4 clipboard stopped working.
Ditto for a S11.3 guest with 6.1.4 and S11.4 SRU19.3 guest.
Looking at the process table, in both cases "vboxclient --clipboard" does get started, or does not stay alive.
What data do you want to see ? Any pointers on a fix are welcome.

Moving back to VirtualBox Guest Additions 6.1.2 as a workaround fixed the issue on all my Solaris guests.

which broke the 'Shared Clipboard' functionality which provides
copy/paste between guest and host as described in the following ticket:
Linux guest: shared clipboard doesn't work (on fresh VirtualBox-6.1.4-136177) => fixed in 6.1.6
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19336
This has now been addressed in the just released 6.1.6 Guest Additions.
I've confirmed that with VirtualBox 6.1.6 and the 6.1.6 GAs copy/paste
now works for me in both directions between a Solaris host and Solaris
guest.
