Hello. Won't pollute author's report by adding my own logs unless queried by a developer.
Host (not in nested virtualisation environment): Fedora 35; kernel v. 5.16.x; Gnome 41 on X.org; VirtualBox GUI v.6.1.32_rpmfusion r149290, (Qt5.15.2). Guests: Fedora 35, Windows 10.
Note: GA installed by relying solely on this application built-in tool and therefore not by solely relying on the package present in Fedora repository that covers a similar task. Indeed that package does not serve any missing function and should then be removed; that's a separate issue, not involving this application.
- Drag and drop: operation only working from host to guest; a denied-icon is exhibited in host, in Nautilus, when attempting to operate from guest to host.
- Clipboard not working bidirectionally tested by copy/paste operations.


To what is "22.2.17" referring to exactly?
Please supply all the information as stated here, otherwise we are not able to investigate this further. Thanks!
