Hi sphinxios,
This is expected behavior when two Apps (in this case ClipMon and VBoxTray) are trying to access clipboard concurrently. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-openclipboard.
If you want to test your App inside the guest, you might consider to either uninstall Windows Guest Additions or terminate VBoxTray process manually.
Closing as invalid.
