Hello Valmor, Since I have already spent (much) more time explaining this issue that it will take to fix it, I am adding middle button pasting (although not copying) for the next version of VirtualBox. So Ctrl+C in Windows followed by middle click in X11 will work, but highlighting with the mouse in X11 followed by Ctrl+V in Windows (or for that matter in an X11 on the "other side") will not.
