Friendly bump for this issue, I've just come accross it myself and was doing to create an issue. 

Here's a screen cap example of windows newlines being lost when copying between local and remote instances of notepad.

 In the video I believe windows newlines (from the local notepad) are getting converted to unix newlines which are not understood by the remote notepad. 

Why are newlines being converted at all? I would argue all newlines should be left intact, and if we need to add any (i.e. modifications made in the guacamole overlay) we can choose a sensible default.

> With the RDP protocol originating from Windows, the format of text clipboard contents is assumed to use Windows-style newline characters (CR+LF). Guacamole currently does not attempt to translate newline characters, sending the format used within the received clipboard stream. This means that applications running within RDP which only support Windows-style newlines, such as Notepad, fail to handle received clipboard data.
> Applications which can handle both UNIX-style and Windows-style newline characters are unaffected.
