Oracle installer 12 on Xming copy paste keyboard problem

Was running a few Oracle Installers via SSH X tunnel forward and Xming client on local Windows 10 box. I noticed that in some installers keyboard does not work.

Its ok sometimes, but Oracle HTTP Server 12.1.0.3 installer needs username and password input. Took a few days (maybe its just me), but looks like Windows Paste is mapped to a middle mouse button. I've found some hints confirming this in forum here. Although selecting and cutting did not work.

Editing still does not work, so some settings have to be changed manually after installation, but username and password can be prepared in Notepad or wherever and middle-clicked into fields. Be sure to pick exact values since its not possible to change them, they will be merged with previous Paste and you will have to run installer from the start.
