Windows to Mac via ARD with clipboard transfer enabled breaks HTML clipboard contents on Mac
I was fighting with copy and pasting a HTML signature into GMail and decided to try it locally on my MacBook Pro which worked as expected. After playing with the 'Enable Clipboard Transfer' setting in the connection properties I found that if this feature is enabled I am unable to copy HTML content to the clipboard, it is always stripped down to plain text. Once disabled the clipboard behaves as expected and allows me to copy / paste HTML contents on the remote Mac system.
Ideally the clipboard feature would leave the clipboard contents on the Mac system untouched. If it's a restriction of Windows <-> MacOS clipboard compatibility I understand only copying plain text to my Windows system, but it shouldn't modify the contents of the clipboard on the Mac.
Not sure if this can be easily fixed, but I did putz around for a bit thinking it was the browser or something else keeping me from copying my HTML signature into GMail. Even if there isn't a fix, this might be useful to others that encounter this issue.
I'm using RDM Version 2022.1.27.0 64-bit on Windows 10, connecting to a MacBook Pro running macOS Monterey 12.4

Great to hear! Thanks for the update, I have some additional bugs that I've run across that I'll create a new thread for since it's not related to ARD.
Looking forward to the future release, I'll keep an eye out for it.
