Can't copy text from Ubuntu 12.04 guest to Windows7 host

Hi,

I've got Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit) running as a guest under VMWare 8.0.4 build-744019. The host is Windows7 sp1 (64-bit).

I can copy text from Ubuntu into Windows, but not back. VMWare tools  is installed and clipboard sharing is enabled (otherwise I wouldn't be  able to copy from the guest to host) but something seems to be broken.

According to http://superuser.com/questions/447701/vmware-cant-copy-text-from-ubuntu-12-04-guest-to-windows7-host... at least one other person is experiencing the same problem. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gili
