Hi Happyfirst,
Can you please check the following.
What happens if instead of pasting 1 time, you try to paste again?
The reason I'm asking is that I am seeing something similar to your report, but under VMware Fusion. In my case, I paste the first time and get an old item from the clipboard, then I undo that and paste again. On the 2nd paste I am getting the content I would have expected on the first paste. It's pretty weird, I notice this most with copying plain text from VM1 to VM2.
