I noticed this issue with Kubuntu (Plasma) host and Ubuntu (GNOME) guest. I thought I was the only one affected since this makes almost impossible to use VMs with GUI (desktop). Not that you wouldn't be able to run them but that you realize that you use Ctrl+c/Ctrl+v so often that when it doesn't work 100% it sooo bad experience that you rather not to use VMs at all. And VirtualBox is not an answer ;-).
Btw. Windows 10 guest is all right.

I installed Kubuntu 20.04 and virt-manager as I did many times on Ubuntu 18.04. Unfortunatelly when I run a VM (QEMU-KVM, libvirt, libspice-server1 and spice-vdagent) with another Kubuntu 20.04 guest or with Ubuntu 20.04 guest then clipboard doesn't work right. To test it, please install Kubuntu 20.04 and then install Kubuntu / Ubuntu 20.04 as VM (guest). Open some simple text editor and start Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V plain text. 90% of time it will work and 10% of time it won't.
