Is this similar to this bug report? (includes a video)
https://xpra.org/trac/ticket/2457

Odd, is it not showing at all? Or is the window missing its contents?
Could be this bug:
https://xpra.org/trac/ticket/2462
(in which case, using a python2 server instead of python3 will fix things)

That's likely to be because the html5 client is more limited and does
not implement all the features, in particular the window size
constraints and desktop scaling.
You can try disabling window size constraints by setting the variable
XPRA_SET_SIZE_CONSTRAINTS=0
before starting xpra from the command line.
To disable desktop scaling, use the command line argument:
xpra --desktop-scaling=1

Browser support for accessing the clipboard is messy. More details here:

Correct. The Xpra client is a native application on all operating
systems supported, including MacOS and MS Windows.
An xserver installed on windows would not be used at all.
