Clipboard bug in Fusion 2.0.1

Not sure if this is a known bug.

Sometimes the Windows clipboard gets 'disconnected' from the Mac clipboard. When that happens, the Windows clipboard will still cut and paste in Windows but you cannot copy in Mac and Paste in Windows. Happens rarely but often enough to be annoying. I have not isolated what causes it.

I can pause windows. Quit Fusion and restart, then run windows and the clipboard is back.

Thanks,

- Bob

I've see a few posts on copy & paste issues between Host and Guest and I think from what I've read there probable is a bug in this feature too like lots of other bugs in Fusion 2.x.

Anyway, you can try is uninstalling/reinstalling VMware Tools and or try using VMware Tools from Fusion 2.0.0 and this has been covered quite a few times so a search of the forum should yield some results.

Thanks for your reply. It is infrequent and I can live with it.

I'm just trying to get this into the official bug list.

Was this the right place to post it?
