[SOLVED] GUI: Cannot type anything when log window open

Post by Technologov »

Sander asked to separate bugs into separate topics.

VBox GUI: imba Stupid bug: (Qt?)
Cannot type anything. Copy paste still works fine.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a VM log file
2. start typing (searching inside log)
3. Create New VM
4. Type VM name (it won't type anything ha-ha ! -- it will keep typing into the VBox log search query ! Despite "New VM" window active and vbox log window inactive)

Host: Windows 7, x64, VBox 3.1.0-BETA2. (This also happens on Windows XP and Vista hosts)

Actually that bug might be annoying but IMHO it is not serious. AFAIR, there is already an internal ticket for this and it exists even for older VBox releases. So far there was no time to fix it.
