Re: Mouse bug in windows 10 guests
Since you were referring to multiple tickets and threads, I thought you knew their contents, and so I was wondering if you tried the approach with the lightest workaround.
The VirtualBox DnD processes (VBoxClient --dragandrop) are running inside the guest OS. Most people with comparable mouse problems didn't have keyboard problems at the same time, so they could simply kill the processes. Of course, that requires the ancient art and wisdom of using a computer with a keyboard alone.
Seriously, you might try one of the following commands (inside the guest OS):

Code: Select all
sudo pkill -fx "/usr/bin/VBoxClient --draganddrop"
sudo pkill -fx "/usr/bin/VBoxClient --draganddrop" && /usr/bin/VBoxClient --draganddrop

Re: Mouse bug in windows 10 guests
I'm seeing this problem as well on VirtualBox Version 6.1.40 r154048 (Qt5.15.2).
The host is running the current Rocky Linux v8.6 (CentOS 8 ) on a robust physical system. The guest is running Windows 10 Pro.
This affects some but not all programs running on the guest. VisualStudio Code seems to be running fine. The vertical scrollbar in the Thunderbird client (v102.3.3, 32-bit build) can't be moved with the mouse.
I see issues with drag-and-drop (mouse down, mouse move, mouse up) and unrecognized mouse clicks. Some Chrome browser apps are affected.
Earlier this year, @suamee posted (posting.php?mode=reply&f=2&t=106684#pr521849) guidance that says "Seriously, you might try one of the following commands inside the guest OS)" with a code block that appears to be Linux shell commands.
I'm specifically referring to mouse issues in the Windows guestVM. So far as I know, mouse handling in the host is working fine.
I didn't notice this behavior prior to the most recent VirtualBox update. If there's an easy way to revert to the prior VirtualBox version, I'm ready for that -- I'm not sure how to do that, though. I'm a developer and comfortable with command-line operations on the host.
