Your configuration running Windows XP on a VirtualBox machine makes it
challenging for anyone to replicate. Few if any will be able to repeat.

We also need more precise steps to reproduce--unclear even which clipboard
(host OS or guest XP has keyboard/mouse focus). Lots of moving pieces.

> I cannot install a clipboard viewer.

YOU need to as it is required data point to determine if the system clipboard
(both the host OS, and the guest OS) correctly receives the copied content to
make it available for paste. 

Prove the content is available to both clipboards! Are the clipboards (host and
guest VM) in sync?  That NEEDINFO is to you.

We have to determine if your lack of context menu connection to clipboard on
the host OS is simply a VirtualBox issue? Installing a clipboard viewer to both
host and guest VM is needed to diagnose. Do other applications running on the
host behave when the XP VM is running?

Also, unclear if you are having the paste issue in the VM or in the host OS?
Would need to know which has keyboard/mouse focus.

Does this only affect the host when a XP guest OS is running hosted by
VirtualBox?

Otherwise--if the VM hosting of a currently active build (6.0, 6.1 or
6.2/master) on a supported VM (Windows 7 sp1, 8.1 or 10) actually has this
issue--it can be addressed.

I can test a VMWare VM, I probably won't test VirtualBox. At this point this is
"needsVirtualBox needsXP", we'll adjust that if not the case.

If VirtualBox on Windows 10 hosting XP VM with a 5.4 build is the only
constant, for certain we WONTFIX as XP is unsupported and 5.4 is EOL--and
frankly looks to be not our bug.

@Xisco--any take for running this down?
