Yesterday I installed VB 4.3.20 on my new mac with OS/X 10.10.1 Installed, after running one old vm I carry on from my older Mavericks Mac, then suddenly my magic mouse stop tracking but scrolling, clicking ok, after discarting all Apple Solution I decided to Uninstall every app I Installed yesterday, I started with VirtualBox, and magically the mouse tracking returns as soon I unistalled It.

More Data: I have my security settings allowing only app store applications and signed developer applications, the mouse tracking return just after enabling ALL Applications to be able to run the VirtualBox Uninstaller, after reboot I return to my std settings allowing only signed apps.

This bug its an major headache at Apple comunity nowadays, I posted the solution there too.

Sorry if I dont post on the bug tracker, I'm not familiar with this community, neither have enough spare time too.

Thanks :!: :!:

I don't seem to understand this post. Is the "bug" supposed to be the Magic Mouse not tracking after running a VM or having to change the security settings to install or uninstall software?

I have two iMacs and a MacBook Air, two running OSX 10.10.1 and one running 10.10.2. I have VB 4.3.20 on two of them and one with VB 4.3.21. My Magic 'Mice' and my Magic Trackpad all work as expected so none have stopped tracking. So I'm at a loss.

Security level isn't the issue (I put this information for developer documentation), the issue must be related to mouse capture libraries, I have an Magic Mouse and a Mac Mini Late 2014 and a Mac Pro Late 13, both presented the same issue, after the first run od Virtual Box 4.3.20 mouse tracking begins to be intermitent (pointer freeze or odd movement), everithing return to normality after VirtualBox Uninstall.

Too mani people reporting the same issue (actually I'm the first reporting its conneciton with virtualbox, waiting confirmation from other users having odd mouse behavior).

Well as I mentioned, I have no such issues with VirtualBox installed. If you have a link to the Apple support forums about this issue I would be interested. You may have to space out the link seeing you are new. i.e. apple support / whatever . com :)
