Mouse Fails to Respect Window Boundires

[CompleteNewbie]

Hi all,

I'm using Virtualbox under Windows 7 to host an Android system. I'm finding that whenever I click on the Android Window to control it, my mouse shoots to the top left of my Windows screen. If I move the mouse over the Android Window it will control the Android mouse, but without actually reaching the extremities of the Android window. This is due to the mouse 'falling out' of the Window, meaning it doesn't control the Android Window any longer. This makes it very difficult to control the system. I've used Virtualbox before but only for a virtual Windows 98. Expected behavior for me would be to click the Android window, the mouse would then control the Android window and that alone, right ctrl would release the mouse from the Android window to control the host system.

I normally use Linux so I'm not very familiar with Windows. Please could someone direct me in the right direction?

Thanks

Android is not a supported guest but you might try to turn off the absolute pointer in the guest settings.

Hi,

Thanks for the response, however it appears to be already off, when it switch it on I lose the mouse within the machine completely.
