Ever since I have installed VB and even on the latest version 4.2.4 with latest ext pack installed on guests I have this issue:

Host=ubunutu 12.0.4 LTS
Guest1 = win7 32 bit
Guest2 = winxp sp3

I can copy and paste text between guest1-guest2 ok - but it only works ONCE, subseuqent copy and pastes from guest1 to guest2 do not work - the same original clipboard contents are used.

If I switch round guest2-guest1 it also works first time, but subsueqent copy/pastes from guest2 to guest1 fail, its as though the host is not reading the second copy to clipboard command from the guest to the other guest.

However subsueqent copy *does* work from guest to the host. So its only subsuqent copy from the gues to the guest which fails.

Copy/paste on both guests is set to "bi-directional"

Any tips pls?

I am having the exact same problem between guests.

Guest Additions are installed. Both guests set to bidirectional.

Can copy/paste 1 time, then it stops working.
Can copy/paste from guest 1 to the host, then copy the same thing again from the host to guest 2 and it works (but that's a huge pain).

These kinds of problems that are reproducible should be reported to bugtracker. If you have not signed on to Bugtracker before you will need to select a new Nickname to be able to report issues.
It would also help if you can post the ticket number here so other can see the progress, add information, or see the final results.
