Input Capture Fails (#17975)

Post by SloanUser »


ModEdit; related ticket: #17975: Input Capture Fails
Hello,

I am running Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS with all the latest patches installed.

Linux xxxxxxx 4.15.0-33-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 15 16:00:05 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I installed Virtualbox/Extension Pack/Guest Additions from virtualbox.org; version 5.2.18 r124319 (Qt5 9.5)

I but both Windows XP and Windows 7 as guests.

Whenever I make use of the Virtualbox control bar at the bottom of the screen, and then click back into my VM, the mouse and keyboard input are not captured by the VM. I need to click off onto my second screen and then click back into the VM for the input to be captured.

Thank you in advance.

I am adding to this post with a properly created log and a picture of the control bar that causes the input to lose its captured state.
