Try using RDPv5 to connect, it should automatically set the protocol to RDPv5, but in some situations it will not.

Alternatively, try launching with these arguments:

-5 -K -r clipboard:CLIPBOARD

-5 forces RDPv5 (which it should use anyway, but sometimes it doesn't), -K forces it to not override the WM's key bindings, and -r clipboard:CLIPBOARD enables clipboard redirection (which is what you want).
