VB 5.0.26 wont allow keyboard capture on Mac OS X 10.12 Sierra

Post by TokyoDoc »

Been running VB 5.0.26 with Arch Linux guest OS no problem under Mac OS X 10.11. Then I upgraded to Sierra (official release 10.12). The virtual machine seems to start, but then, I cant enter anything in the login screens for Arch Linux without going back to the Mac window. When I scroll back to the VBox window, its OK. I have to do this back and forth only during login, once logged in to Arch Linux under VBox, its fine. This happens with window mode or full-screen.

• Does it happen with other guests (if any)?
• Can you try the latest (5.1.6 as of this writing) version of VirtualBox?
