Unable to copy/paste when accessing RHEL 6 VM's from a Windows client using virt-viewer

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

Using Spice copy and paste between a Windows Client and a RHEL Guest sometimes fails. It can fail in either direction pasting to the Guest or to the Client.

Environment

RHEV 4.1.X
First reported in virt-viewer version 2 but also seen with the newer versions of virt-viewer available from the Console Client Resources section of the RHEV UI.
