I am experiencing a very strange touch-pad pointer behavior after installing VirtualBox-5.1.25-117110-Win.exe and the couple 5.1.25 prior to that. If I double click on Computer icon to open the File Explorer, the icon gets stuck to the mouse pointer and moves with it, and the File Explorer does NOT open.
Also, a strange mouse/touch-pad responses in the past few releases, I noticed that a normal/quick double click does NOT result in opening the File Explorer, but a slow (half a second between them) would open the file explorer.
Mouse double click stick icon to pointer.

Re: Mouse double click stick icon to pointer.
This is an issue that they're actively working on. There is a ticket open for this: #14632: Double click not working with precision touchpad. Add your experiences there...

Re: Mouse double click stick icon to pointer.
Just installed "VirtualBox-5.1.25-117130-Win.exe" + "Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.25-117130.vbox-extpack", and seems to have been sorted... In fact it is more responsive than a number of earlier releases.
Well done to the developers for a quick fix.

Re: Mouse double click stick icon to pointer.
Actually it would be best if you let the developers know directly in ticket #14632, as they are actively looking for user feedback, especially the latest builds. The one that you downloaded was released 5 hours ago! See comment 86 from 'michael'.

Just add a comment at the bottom of the page. If that's not available, take a look on the top right part of the page. If there is a link that says "Login" you'll have to login first. It uses the same credentials as the forums, so simply clicking on the link will auto-log you in. Then add your comment at the bottom of the page.

Thanks socratis, done..
Re: Mouse double click stick icon to pointer.
Related ticket (Ticket #14632) has been closed saying it was fixed in v5.1.26 but i'm still having the same issue
I just got a new machine with precision touchpad, installed v5.1.28 and corresponding extension pack.
is there anything else or any setting needs to be done to get double-tap translated correctly?
