Yesterday I was giving a session to my student of college project. Suddenly I got a message "26% saved to clipboard". I am a bit confused with this message. What does it mean during session. Was my student trying to copy my project data w/o my permission. Please help me to understand this issue.

next time hit printscreen and open mspaint and get that screenshot in mspaint. Then you can paste it into your question and it will help people answer. I googled "saved to clipboard" and teamviewer and didn't get anything so maybe you didn't get the wording right, or maybe it wasn't teamviewer. But either way, a screenshot of that message would help.– barlopOct 18, 2015 at 5:24

The clipboard does what it does in Windows. You can copy/cut and then paste from one pc to the other. Your student may have accidentally pressed one of the following key combinations.
Ctrl-C
Ctrl-X
Ctrl-Ins
Ctrl-Del
If you are worried about it, you can disable the Clipboard. I have mine disabled because if I want to copy a file on the remote machine from one folder to another, the clipboard intervenes and copies it to my local machine as soon as I have done a copy/cut. It makes the session really really slow.
I would like the clipboard to work just for everything except files. I have requested the developers to fix this. But they just can not see why it is a problem.
This is where you can "Disable remote drag & drop integration"

If you were sharing your screen/window, then he can't have done much without your seeing it.
E.g. Ctrl + C will copy whatever is selected to the clipboard, but he would have had to select something, first, which would have been visible to you.
More likely, he just hit (Alt + or Ctrl +) PrtScr a few times, as you were explaining things, to help him write up notes, later, and one of them lagged a bit, because of a connection hiccough.
