Keyboard vía GuestAdditions locks mouse clics

Post by profesorjim »

Hello.

I'm runing Windows 11 as guest OS on host Virtualbox 7.0.18. I've installed de GA on Windows 11, and all works fine. But when I press any key on Windows 11, for the next half a second the mouse clics events are lost; the virtual machine doesn't get these mouse clics.

I'm afraid this is an issue between GA and Windows 10/11. If I connect a usb keyboard directly to the Windows 11 virtual machine, there are no clics lost.

Thanks in advance.

Hi again.

I've tested this issue in other host machine. And I found that this issue occurs running VirtualBox on a laptop ACER TravelMate P (AMD Ryzen Pro 3), running Xubuntu 22.04 as host OS. The same virtual machine doesn't has this issue if I move it to a Dell PC running VirtualBox under Debian 12.

I suppose this is a mix between hardware and software. Perhaps the VirtualBox Guests Additions have a bug that occurs when you run VirtualBox over some kind of hardware.

Thanks to all collaborators.
