spicy is a developer tool, not meant for end users. Please use virt-viewer instead.

It's easier for testing if you do Ctrl-C from a text editor in guest (or client) and try to paste with Ctrl-V in a text editor in client (or guest).

While doing this, you can set SPICE_DEBUG=1 environment on client, to observe the log.

In Windows, you can also get the vdagent and vdservice logs from  %WINDIR%\temp.

Please attach all those logs for further help.

cheers
