Minor Windows clipboard issue

Hello

I have a small problem in Windows RGui using Remote Desktop when the 
clipboard paste menu item becomes unexpectedly disabled.

I'm using Remote Desktop to connect from a Windows 2000 workstation 
client to RGui running on Windows Server 2003. After text is pasted to 
RGui from the client a couple of times, the "Edit : Paste" menu item 
becomes disabled when data should be available from the clipboard. 
Pasting of clipboard contents is disabled at that time for a local 
Notepad also. The paste menu item is re-enabled when the following happens:

If it happens for both R and Notepad, it's presumably a Windows bug, 
isn't it?

Sorry that wasn't clear. The disablement occurs only when pasting into 
RGui, and does not occur when pasting into Notepad, hence the workaround 
using Notepad as intermediary. Once the clipboard is unavailable in 
RGui, it is also unavailable in Notepad and presumably all other 
applications.
   1. Cut/copy from a local application (remote paste remains disabled 
when attempted again).
   2. Disconnect and reconnect the remote desktop connection (remote 
paste becomes enabled).

A simple workaround is to paste into Notepad on the remote host, then 
cut/copy from the local Notepad into RGui.

I don't follow this:  didn't you say above that pasting is disabled for 
Notepad, too?

I haven't located any useful material, but VNC and/or eclipse may also 
have (had) this problem.

I can't locate the VNC item.

That's not the current release....

I did bang on this for a week and missed the new version. I can give it 
a try.
