Repeat keys problems - Freezing guest.

Post by Ze_PilOt »

Hi,

I'm running Vbox 2.2.2 from a centos 5.3 linux (same as a redhat).
The guest is a windows XP SP1, with Guest additions 2.2.2.

The problem :
When I'm in photoshop, and trying to pan around, by pressing space bar (or Z), The host completely freeze when the cpu is 100% used.

By trying differents solutions, I've found that it come from the repeat key in the host : By disabling it, no more problems.
But well, now I've got no repeat keys in host or guest. I can't leave it like that for obvious reasons.

I've read some bug tickets concerning repeat key & event, and they were fixed. They are obviously not fixed, or it's not the same problem..

Anyone got that too ? (or better : a solution ? :)
