PD5: MacOS clipboard managers

[DenissK]

Host: MacOS 10.6.1
Guest: WinXP SP3

After PD4 -> PD5 upgrade there are difficulties for MacOS clipboard manager use.

PD4 behavior (ok):
Each time anything is copied into clipboard inside guest WinXP at one goes to MacOS clipboard.

PD5 behavior (not ok):
Only after PD5 lose its focus data from guest WinXP clipboard is sent to MacOS clipboard.


As a result after upgrade to PD5 it is impossible to fully use of MacOS clipboard manager.

Any idea for workaround without using guest WinXP clipboard manager?


Thanks!

Hello,

Until PD4 update 2 we used mouse state (grabbed/ungrabbed) to determine switch between MacOS and guest OS. It's used in copy-paste implementation. Some users use Command+Tab to switch to guest OS, but mouse keeps staying in MacOS (ungrabbed) and we couldn't catch this event. User couldn't paste in guest OS. So now we use keyboard state to solve this more widespread problem.
