Until the latest update I was able to ctrl + left click in the windows host and have that be interpreted as a ctrl + left click (used for removing selected objects in Rhinoceros). Now ctrl + left click is interpreted as a right click (the standard mac osx behavior). If I disable mouse integration the problem goes away, but the mouse control is much better with mouse integration on. If this had always been the case I would probably think this is the way its supposed to work, but given that this issue appeared with this newest update I thought I would post and see if anyone else is having this problem, if there are any workarounds (besides mouse integration) and/or if this is a bug that will be fixed in the next update.

Thanks.

I just updated VirtualBox and noticed a similar problem. This is MASSIVELY annoying. Komodo Edit in Linux uses the ctrl-LMB click-drag for column editing. I frequently edit code so this has become a major pain. In Windows, my FPGA simulation tool expects a ctrl-LMB click-drag to zoom in on a range in the waveform window. Attempting to zoom in now causes the waveform window to go blank and the RMB-click pop-up menu shows up instead.

I haven't noticed a problem with simple ctrl-click operations. For example, in Windows Explorer, I can click on a file, shift-click to select a bunch of files, then ctrl-click to deselect a file. My mouse issues seem to be only related to ctrl-click-drag operations. BTW - I'm using a Magic Trackpad on my Mac.

This new bug has a huge impact on my productivity. I hope it gets fixed SOON!

There appears to be another thread discussing similar mouse issues...

I ended up downgrading to 4.3.26 since the bug was so annoying. The mouse works as expected with 4.3.26.
