ModEdit; related ticket: #18745: Vbox 6.0.8 keeps keyboard grab even after mouse is out

---

Hello,

Since some weeks, vbox started to keep keyboard grab even after I left VM windows. Something like this:

1. with mouse integration on click inside the VM. Keyboard is grabbed by VM
2. click anywhere outside the VM windows (i.e.: an text editor). Keyboard leaves VM and I can start to type inside the editor
3. A second after I clicked, I can see the current position cursor inside the editor disappear (indicating that the component has lost focus). All my keyboard keys are back to VM.

I can only break this cycle by using the "host key", even when VM window is not in use (but has keyboard grab).

• VM window grab keyboard as soon as it starts (even before OS is booting)
• I'm using Virtualbox 6.0.8 in an updated OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed vbox packages).
• I'm using KDE
• I have both extensions and additions installed

I'm using headless VM with RDP in order to avoid the rogue keyboard grabbing.
Does anyone have seen this before?

It seems to be an issue with QT 5.13
