Hello,
Last week I noticed some stange appearance of Windows Vista (the host). I had locked the computer by pressing WIN+L, but when I wanted to enter my password a window appeared. After some testing I found out that this happens only in one situation: when I run VirtualBox fullscreen and it is focused, and when there's an U in the password. So when I press WIN+L, both the host and te guest (windows XP) lock the computer, but I can't enter my password for Vista since it contains an U.
My question is: how can I solve this?
WIN+L hotkey

Not a real solution, but use the start menu button to lock your VM (or Host). You can use the Host key first, then the Windows key to access your Host system (hopefully, sometimes keys are still send to the VM) and then lock your Host if you want that.
