SPICE guest (Fedora) can read from host clipboard but not write

Hi, I'm trying to set up a shared clipboard for hosts and guests using SPICE. For VMs I am using virt-manager with QEMU/KVM.

I have SPICE set up, but oddly, my Fedora guest can only read the contents of my host clipboard, but when I copy something in the guest, it doesn't change my host clipboard. I have a Windows guest where the shared clipboard behaviour works fine.

spice-vdagentd is running in Fedora. Output of `pacman -Qs spice` on the host is
