The first, but only the first, time that I ran a VM (a Windows 10 Home one) from within the new beta, the keyboard did not work. That is, when I typed anything within the VM, and in any application (well, I tried three or so) nothing happened. The mouse worked.
Host: Linux Mint 19 x64 Cinnamon.
Guest: Windows 10 Home.
Physical computer: Lenovo Thinkpad X1CG6.

Can't reproduce it.
What happens the 2nd time?

The second time the keyboard worked normally (and the mouse continued to work).

Re: Keyboard does not work in VM, when the VM is first run
Does this happen on each and every VM the first time?
We need to see a complete VBox.log, from two complete VM runs:
We need to see a complete VBox.log, from two complete VM runs:
- Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe error / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
- Re-start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Login if you have to / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
- With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
- Save "VBox.log" and "VBox.log.1" in a ZIP file and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

I'm sorry; there is only so much work that I am prepared to do.

Re: Keyboard does not work in VM, when the VM is first run
The problem occurred again, why I downgraded (if that is the right word) to the new maintenance release and (had to) install Guest Additions via a download (a download in the host, not guest). I had to restart my guest under 5.2 twice before the keyboard worked. I am now going to use the maintenance release and not the beta. Some expression of appreciation from the developers would be nice.
