Is there some kind of clipboard debugger? Something that will allow
visbility into what exactly is happening with the clipboard data?

James,
Post by James WeatherallPost by James Weatherallother application on the Windows system breaking the "clipboard chain",
in which case any applications registered later on in the chain stop
receiving notifications of clipboard changes.
I am absolutely agree with your point. I have been researching on this
and
will let you know if I found something interesting. I am wondering if it
is
happening because of some other application and it is breaking the
clipboard
chain then why after restarting VNC Viewer makes it works again?
Other thing is, I never faced issue in copy pasting within VNC to VNC
and
VNC to Windows but it happens intermittently from Windows to VNC only.
When clipboard chain is break by some application but still VNC is able
to
successfully setting clipboard again when you copy some contents from
VNC
window. And you can paste it in Windows. I think once this happened then
again clipboard chain should start (as clipboard is same for windows and
VNC). Shouldn' t it? Let me know if you could suggest some points to
avoid
this problem so that we could include it in next version of VNC release.
Thanks,
Paresh
Post by James WeatherallParesh,
If the specific case you're having problems with is that
clipboard-transfer
Post by James Weatherallsometimes stops working Windows->Other then that's most likely caused by
some other application on the Windows system breaking the "clipboard chain",
in which case any applications registered later on in the chain stop
receiving notifications of clipboard changes. Unfortunately all it takes to
break the chain is for an application that is hooked into it to exit without
properly unhooking from it, which is particularly likely if the application
in question is in the process of crashing...

Mike,
It seems there is no problem from Real VNC side but it might be
related

Window<->VNC clipboard exchange work. The limit I mentioned is for single
selection but there is no limit after which copy-pasting stops working
altogether. I feel there is something happening in internally such that
Windows is stopping sharing clipboard with running application like Real
VNC, Exceed or other VNC commercial. That's a reason after
restarting

Real VNC session, it starts working again.
VNC to Windows work because clipboard contents will be stored on Windows
memory that could be fetch by Windows clipboard fetching
application.
Post by James WeatherallPost by James WeatherallVNC to
VNC works because Real VNC Viewer will handle clipboard copy-pasting and
Windows will not come into picture but it will fail only Windows to VNC
because Windows will not share (I guess not sure) clipboard contents with
VNC session.
If some one especially Real VNC people can throw some guidance here then it
would really help to solve this issue.
I am not sure how "exec /usr/bin/autocutsel" helped you.
Thanks,

I used to be able to copy/paste between Windows and VNC, but not
anymore.
