Mouse Problem in Mint (click 5cm to the right)

[Tim111]

Hello, I have Windows 11 installed, running Virtual Box.

Then I installed Mint.

At first everything went without any problems.

If I want to click on something now, I have to hold the mouse pointer about 5 cm to the right of the object and click to hit it.

What can I do?

Have you instyalled Guest Additions in the VM? Please see the prerequisites https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04. ... ions-linux and https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq

If this does not work, please Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip it, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Yes Guest Additions is installed!!

Please provide the requested log.

Here is the zip-file... Thanks....

You do in fact have the Guest Additions installed, that's good.

I see that your VM has multiple screens. Does this offset issue happen on both screens? If so, by the same amount?

Could you please try going to just one screen and see if the issue continues?

I couldn't test whether it occurs on both mini-tors because I can't pull anything over to the right monitor because of the problem. All Windows are even harder to click on.

I tested a few minutes ago: Shutting down the VM and setting "1 monitor" in Virtualbox fixes the problems!!! Thanks in advance for the tip! (Unfortunately I'm mostly forced to work with 2 monitors).

Here are a few photos showing exactly how the problem behaves (with 2 monitors)...: Picture 1: not ok and same time Picture 2 (Objekt from Virtualbox) is ok. (2 Monitors).

At all time no problem with mouse direkt at Virtualbox-Objekts (see picture). Only in Linux.

I have had this issue in the past. I cannot remember the solution, but it was either:
a) Change the VB graphics controller
b) Change back to the previously working VB until a later version works. You could try the test version

I have not had the mouse offset issue for over a year.
