Is there some magic X11 setting that could account for your issue?<br>

No, at least not intentionally. I tried to check if there are any settings that could affect the clipboard encoding, but I didn't find anything. It seems like only utf-8 is supported.<br>
<br>
I'm pretty sure it's related to the VM, because when I copy some text from another application, and paste it into an image, then the line endings are converted to CRs, which is very unlikely to happen on linux.<br>
<br>
I tried to copy all 7-bit ascii characters to the clipboard (besides zero which is not possible), because those are the same in utf-8:<br>
<br>
Clipboard default primitiveClipboardText: (1 to: 127) asByteArray.<br>
<br>
When I checked it with xclip, it turned out that all the bytes are on the clipboard:<br>
<br>
$ xclip -o -selection clipboard | hexdump -b;<br>

But in the other image, the bytes were filtered:<br>
