My TigerVNC often encountered copy&paste issue.
Copy content from my vnc client (OS: windows 7) to vnc server(CentOS 7), the content lost when pasting.
However, copy from server to client always works.
I checked vncconfig, both "accept clipboard from viewers" and "send clipboard to viewers" are checked.
Sometimes the function works well but sometimes it randomly not work.
My viewer version is: vncviewer64-1.7.1.exe
server version is: TigerVNC 1.3.1
Please advice.

of issues. Unfortunately the workaround is only in the development
version so far.
Are you running KDE on the server?
Could you try a nightly build?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

problem (client-to-server clipboard transfer failing randomly on Windows
7 clients) from users of the TurboVNC Server/native Windows viewer, and
that server/viewer combination doesn't use any TigerVNC code. I don't
think it's a server-side issue, but I could be wrong. I've only seen
complaints about it from Windows users, and none of my testing was ever
able to reproduce it.

Thank you for your reply. I upgraded my TigerVNC server version to 1.8.0. However, the issue still occurs sometimes.

New issue occurred. Today when I connected to my remote vnc server. It shows an error screen "Oh no! Something has gone wrong".

OpenGL drivers. Have you recently installed NVIDIA's drivers perhaps?

I did not update any driver or any software. And, I could login to that PC and see GNOME desktop normally, which means, the PC itself is good.
But, if I access it via TigerVnc, it shows this error screen.
This is the content of my ~/.vnc/xstartup.

unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

I could ssh to this PC successfully. Therefore, it should not be network connection issue as well.

Yes, it worked previously in TigerVNC. I uninstalled TigerVNC 1.8.0 and tried to install nightly build but failed. Then I re-installed 1.8.0 by yum install and I found it could not access the remote server any more.

What do you mean by "tried to install nightly build but failed"? Failed how?
