Shared clipboard doesn't support HTML

Reported by: mskov Owned by:

Description

The shared clipboard between a Windows host and a linux guest doesn't support HTML (e.g., if you copy a hyperlink from some browser and paste it to a reach-text editor, you get a plain text there rather than HTML link). I know that the shared clipboard should support only text and images. However, between a windows host and a windows guest the HTML is copied correctly. So I am not sure if this is a bug or a missing feature.

From a quick look not implemented for X11 guests.

This should be at least partly working with VirtualBox 5.1. Feedback welcome.

Seems to work fine now with a Windows 7 host and a debian/ubuntu guest. Thank you!
