3.2.10 Copy Paste Clipboard is broken to Ubuntu

[digitalrinaldo]

I am unable to copy and paste in either direction when the Host is a Mac OS 10.6.4 with Virtual Box 3.2.10 going to Ubuntu 10 either 32 or 64. I am able to copy and paste to windows. It is really amazing that the Windows X community is still having so much trouble with copy and paste. Can someone tell me when it will be fixed and if there is a known history of it working and then not working there are 100s of messages about copy and paste issues and I can't use a system that doesn't support copy and paste with some ability to fix it quickly when it breaks expecting users to use notepad and files is a productivity drain.

Are the guest additions installed (in the guest)?

Only issue I have is that it sometimes dies on a Windows host after a long period of up-time and needs to be restarted.

I'm using VirtualBox 3.2.10 under OSX 10.6.4, hosting ubuntu 64 bit ( uname -a : Linux sym-ecl-vm 2.6.32-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 17 20:05:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux ) and can easily cut and paste from ubuntu to osx and the other way around. I think you have a problem with guest additions.

Copy Paste Clipboard is broken for Windows.

Host&Guest - Windows XP SP3 Russian, Last Guest addins are installed.
Sometimes VBox crashes at Guest shutdown. Copy at Host are transferred to Guest successfully, but not backward!

Clipboard is indeed broken in 3.2.10.

Host Windows XP SP2
Guests: Windows XP SP3, Windows 2000 SP4

For the above the clipboard is broken both ways despite the bi-directional setting enabled. Also tried un-installing GA, rebooting and re-installing GA 3.2.10 but still is broken.

The only current workaround I have is to logout->login or reboot the Guest after which the clipboard functions but dies shortly afterwards.

Strangely enough, I have a Debian 5.0 Guest that does not have a problem with the clipboard... on second thoughts, that Guest is running GA 3.2.6

Just a quick update to say that I am having a better experience when installing GA 3.2.6 in my Windows XP SP3 and Wink2k guests running on VirtualBox 3.2.10.
