Cannot copy/paste from guest to host.

9.0.2 build-1031769.

Host: Windows 7

Guest: Windows 7

I have enabled drag/drop and copy/paste in VM settings.

Drag/drop works both ways, and I can copy text in the host and paste into the guest. But if I copy in the guest, I cannot paste in the host.

Yes, VMWare tools I installed. I will reply on the other thread. That is exactly my problem, and it seems to be a bug, as a number of people are reporting it.
