Guest Additions broke mouse integration

[logiclust]

running Centos7 guest on a mac host vbox v 6 and everything was humming along fine until i decided to install the guest additions. now my mouse (trackpad) only stays connected for a few clicks, then only comes back after a reboot of the VM and then drops shortly after.

only stays connected for a few clicks

What does that mean?

then only comes back after a reboot of the VM and then drops shortly after

Same question here...

Open a Terminal. Type the command:

• VBoxBugReport "<VMname>"

where "<VMname>" is the actual name of the VM. This will generate a "YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss-bugreport.tgz" file in the current directory (most probably your home directory). Attach that file in your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

If this is CentOS 7.6, then you are definitely affected by a kernel bug discussed in Mouse only usable within single application after mouse click on RHEL 7.6 (#18124).
