ModEdit; related ticket: #18440: Keyboard and mouse don't work after creating snapshot
Host: 10.12.6 Sierra
Guests: 10.11 El Capitan, 10.13 High Sierra
Bug description:
Mouse and keyboard are not captured
- Immediately after taking a snapshot
- Restoring from a snapshot
- Restoring a saved state
I've had this problem in VirtualBox versions after 6.0.0. (6.0.0 does NOT have this problem.)
I've attached mac.vbox and VBox.log. They pertain to 10.11 El Capitan, given that it's much easier to install than High Sierra, but the same problem exists for High Sierra.
Setting higher RAM, video memory, number of processors, and USB version do not fix anything. Neither does installing Guest Additions. The only thing that works is downgrading to v6.0.0.
I can manually attach external USB mice and keyboards. However, this is not an acceptable workaround. The system trackpad and keyboard remain unattachable.
