Repeating Keys

Post by ronkmonster »

When I try to type in a windows vm keys are doubled. If i click outside of the window and back in, It will work correctly for a short time (less than 30 seconds) then change back to doubling all key entries.

This happened on the last few releases I think and I am on the latest now, 4.0

Is there a known bug or incompatibility? I'm running Windows 7 64bit as the host and I was using an XP guest. I've just setup a Windows 7 64bit guest and it's affected too.

Same here.
Host: Win 7 x86.
Guest : XP x86.

Same result on 2 XP VM which were created before VB 4.0.0 and who were fine before.
I also have an Ubuntu guest working flawlessy (at least for this problem) on the same host.
