Mouse Cursor Double fix

Post by calebo5 »

My mouse cursor shows up twice sometimes in a virtual machine. one is the guest cursor and the other one is the host cursor and its really getting annoying now that almost every single virtual machine has it. How can I fix this? :?:

Known issue. Ticket 15610: Host cursor visible in guest, produces double cursors. Take a look at the linked discussion as well. The only way that it seems the fix is going to come any day soon, is if you have good programming skills. Or if you have big pockets.

I just read a little bit of it but I don't know what it means its too complicated for me to read it so, can someone tell me what it means in a simpler way instead of words that are hard to understand.

It's not fixed, you can do nothing about it.

I had this issue with host OS 10.11.6 (El Capitan) and guest OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and VirtualBox 5.1.28.

I can verify it is fixed for me with VirtualBox 5.1.30.

Thanks for the hard work!
