Have virtualbox "hold on to" mouse?

Post by tgp1994 »

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to play a fullscreen game in virtual box, and I would like to configure virtual box so that it will hold onto my mouse pointer until I press the host key. This seems like it should be a simple thing to do, although I haven't seen any tutorials regarding how to do this.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

That's somewhat better, although it's a pain to get the mouse lined up properly, and it will still leave the window anyways. Perhaps running my computer on a dual monitor configuration is causing this issue?

EDIT: Ah, nevermind, it works perfectly on my primary display. Virtualbox just doesn't like it on the second display. Should I file this as a bug?
