Hi,
I recently started having the following problem.
When i have a guest system running, normally a linux guest os is what i use, the clicpboard on the host system get locked.
I mean all the copy/past functions stop to work after that I'm forced to stop the guest os running to be able to use the clipboard on windows.
At the moment I'm using Vbox 2.1.4 and the guest os was upgraded for this same version of the additions tools/drivers.
Is there any to prevent this from happening?
Thanks.
Virtualbox locking clipboard on Host.

You can disable the shared clipboard functionality, but that will also stop you from copying text from the Host to the Guest and vice versa.
