Copy-and-paste doesn't work with Remote Desktop

[Jeremiah]

When I attempt to use PL/SQL Developer on our virtual machine through Remote Desktop, copy-and-paste generally doesn't work. If I press CTRL+C repeatedly, it will work about 25% of the time, but more often than not, nothing is copied. After reviewing other posts, I discovered that if I kill the rdpclip process, suddenly it starts working perfectly. But then I have to restart the rdpclip process in order to paste the contents onto my local machine. I haven't had any issues with any other applications.

These two posts described similar issues:

This is indeed a known issue. We are looking into this.

What you might try is to go to Tools > Preferences > User Interface / Fonts, and disable the "Include font style with Copy" option.

Thanks! That doesn't seem to be a 100% fix, but it's much more reliable and much less frustrating.

Any idea when the complete fix will be available?

No, we are still looking into this.
