I did a quick check. Seems like if text is copied from the remote computer to the local computer by using a mouse to select the required text, then the copy-paste functionality does not work.
I tried selecting text on the remote computer using just the keyboard, and then I was able to successfully copy text from the remote computer to the local computer. I tried this around 10-15 of times and it worked each time, whereas using mouse is very unreliable. Until a fix is released I am going to use this as a workaround. I am using Ubuntu 16.04, and I did not install/upgrade Remmina through any PPAs. Hope it works for others as well.

So, I consider it a critical bug that "copy and pasting" between "local and remote desktops" is not working in the 15.04 beta 2. This is one of those things, where if this is not fixed, I will have to return to Ubuntu 14.04, or figure out a way to install a version of Remmina that actually works correctly in 15.04. This bug has reared its ugly head before: https://bugs.launchpad.net/remmina/+bug/937522 However, the status of that bug seems to be practically closed, so that's the reason for this new posting. I want to do all I can to get this bug the attention it needs. Remmina is crucial for my work. I'm currently dealing with the fact that it crashes a few times a day, but this "copy and paste not working" is a real deal-breaker for me to stay on 15.04.
