Summary: Clipboard sharing partially working with RDP + GNOME
Host
Classification: Applications
Product: krdc
Version First 26.08.1
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

DESCRIPTION
Clipboard sharing in KRDC is only partially functional when connecting to
Ubuntu GNOME over RDP.
Copying text from the local Fedora desktop to the remote Ubuntu desktop works.
However, copying text from the remote Ubuntu desktop to the local Fedora
desktop does not work.
The same RDP connection and server work correctly in both clipboard directions
when using FreeRDP's native Wayland client (wlfreerdp) instead of KRDC.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect using the RDP to an Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS machine running GNOME Remote
Desktop System Remote Login.
2. Copy plain text on the local Fedora desktop and paste it into an application
on the remote Ubuntu desktop.
3. Fedora -> Ubuntu works.
4. Copy plain text inside an application on the remote Ubuntu desktop.
5. Switch to Fedora and attempt to paste the copied text into a local
application.
OBSERVED RESULT
Fedora → Ubuntu: Clipboard transfer works.
Ubuntu → Fedora: Clipboard transfer fails.
Clipboard Contents preview shows a blank entry for the failed copy.
EXPECTED RESULT
Clipboard Sharing should work in both directions.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tested the same RDP server from the same Fedora machine using FreeRDP's
native Wayland client (wlfreerdp) with clipboard redirection enabled.
With wlfreerdp, clipboard sharing works in both directions, including Ubuntu →
Fedora.
This provides a working comparison using the same server, client machine, and
desktop session.
