Host Bluetooth Keyboard stops after starting VirtualBox

[bikas]

I have Virtual Box running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 host and it has 2 guest OSs. The USB controller feature is unchecked for both OSs. I recently attached a bluetooth keyboard to the host machine and it works fine until I start VirtualBox. The moment I start virtual box the keyboard stops working. Note that this happens even before I start the guest OS. I just have to start the VirtualBox application and the keyboard is lost. The machine has a USB Bluetooth dongle with a Toshiba Bluetooth stack. Any ideas what the issue might be? Running latest Virtual Box 4.2.X.

Depending on the version of VirtualBox you are using (you don't specify) it may be that you need to post a ticket at bugtracker

4.2.18 R88780 is the version I am using. Is this a known issue with older versions? Is there a fix/workaround?

Thanks!

It's possible that 4.2.18 had some of the 4.3.* code was backported. Try 4.2.16 and if it works or not post a ticket. Be sure to post the 4.2.18 guests log file as an attachment to the ticket.

Actually I was running 4.1.X yesterday when this issue occurred. VB prompted me to upgrade and so I upgraded to 4.2.18 yesterday. The issue happened with 4.2.18 too. Now I am upgrading to 4.3.2.

Where would this log be? And where do I file a bug?
