There is a known issue with clipboard functionality in the Amazon DCV macOS client that can cause crashes. This clipboard-related crash was specifically identified in the release notes for Amazon DCV and has been addressed in more recent versions.

To resolve this issue, you should:

  1. Ensure you're using the latest version of the Amazon DCV macOS client (viewer)
  2. If you're still experiencing crashes, you may need to modify the clipboard configuration on the DCV server

For macOS specifically, there can be compatibility issues between the cross-platform format that Amazon DCV uses by default and certain applications. For example, with applications like IntelliJ IDEA, the text cannot be pasted because IntelliJ can't accept the cross-platform format that Amazon DCV uses.

If you're an administrator, you can modify the disabled-targets field on the Amazon DCV Server to disable cross-platform text functionality, though be aware this will prevent copy and paste from working with the Amazon DCV web client.

Additionally, check whether clipboard redirection is properly configured in your environment. If you're not the administrator, you might need to contact them to verify the clipboard redirection settings.

We are using latest client but does the server version need to be updated too?
