Clipboard Sharing Stops Working After Extended Use (Ubuntu 22.04 Server - Windows 11 Client)

[wxwok]

What happened?

Description

The clipboard-sharing functionality in Barrier stops working after extended use between an Ubuntu 22.04 server and a Windows 11 client. Copying content from one machine fails to paste it onto the other machine. The issue can be temporarily resolved by restarting the Barrier server but reoccurs after continued use.
The issue can be temporarily resolved by restarting the Barrier server, but it reoccurs after continued use.

3. After extended use (varying time), attempt to copy content from one machine and paste it on the other
