do you get the usual notification at this stage?

Cannot reproduce on my machine (Q4.2.1 NV41), but I'm using Super+C and Super+V as the Qubes Global clipboard shortcuts...wasn't there some other issue tied only to specific Global Clipboard shortcuts?

I can replicate this issue if I add this policy:

qubes.ClipboardPaste	*	B	@anyvm	deny

I guess there is an issue with notification when you have notification of copied data to global clipboard even if no data was copied due to policy restriction.
