XRDP copy/paste not working sometimes

[kuchenmann]

We have to use a Linux-PC as a "download station" for downloading from file-sharing websites.
Usually we connect via RDP from Windows to this Linux-PC (xrdp 0.10.4).
Sometimes the copy paste for text (like URLs) is not working, then restarting of xrdp or rebooting the Linux-PC is necessary.
We just use ONE local user on this Linux-PC for RDP. But we can connect from different Windows-PCs at the same time (I always thought it is restricted just to one connection?).
I've also tested it on virtual Linux-PC, it is the same. I can make more than one RDP connection with same local user.
But I don't know if this causes the copy/paste problems, because when I try I can usually copy/paste, even when connected twice.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi @kuchenmann

This will indeed cause copy-paste problems. The cop-paste functionality is provided by a component called chansrv, and this can only be connected to one client at a time. I can't see any way how you can copy/paste from two clients at once.

We've just implemented functionality to enforce one client connecting at a time in #3567. This is in the devel stream at the moment.
