Using Mac OS X 12.6.8 and Remote Desktop 10.9.2.  Beginning two versions back (10.9.0?), copy and paste works for a while after launching RD, but it eventually fails when copying from the remote machine to the local Mac.  The failure manifests as a spinning beach ball in the application I'm pasting into.  The paste operation eventually times out, but the quickest way to recover is to quit Remote Desktop and start the whole operation over again with the copy.

I can confirm this is happening in our organization as well. It doesn't matter if it's a single word or a 500 rows of information from a SQL query results. Both copy/paste results in a failure to paste the test from the remote desktop into Mac application and a spinning wheel/beachball.
