@vrf888 Same here
For me, it works when pasting to something like Notes on OSX. I've noticed it depends on the app I'm pasting to.
Although, I have to restart Barrier on both OSX and Windows often to get paste to even work.

This seems an encoding issue. HTML data sent from Linux to Windows is encoded as UTF-8, while it should be UTF-16. The original can be inspected with Python

I borrowed a fix from Synergy and sent #1254. Note that the fix is for Linux. The issue between Windows and macOS is most likely a different issue and requires a separate fix. I don't have macOS so I cannot test it.
