Friendly bump for this issue, I've just come accross it myself and was doing to
create an issue.
Here's a screen cap example of windows newlines being lost when copying between
local and remote instances of notepad.
[^guacamole_clipboard_interfering_with_windows_newlines.mp4]
In the video I believe windows newlines (from the local notepad) are getting
converted to unix newlines which are not understood by the remote notepad.
Why are newlines being converted at all? I would argue all newlines should be
left intact, and if we need to add any (i.e. modifications made in the
guacamole overlay) we can choose a sensible default.

> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: RDP
> Reporter: Amarjeet Singh
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: guacamole_clipboard_interfering_with_windows_newlines.mp4
>
>
> With the RDP protocol originating from Windows, the format of text clipboard
> contents is assumed to use Windows-style newline characters (CR+LF).
> Guacamole currently does not attempt to translate newline characters, sending
> the format used within the received clipboard stream. This means that
> applications running within RDP which only support Windows-style newlines,
> such as Notepad, fail to handle received clipboard data.
> Applications which can handle both UNIX-style and Windows-style newline
> characters are unaffected.
