Moving window across VM in fullscreen changes focus
Posted: 18. Jan 2017, 07:23
Observed effect with VB 5.1.14 on ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit) with 4 workspaces:
- VM is run fullscreen on workspace 2 (dual monitor)
- An active window like Chrome browser from workspace 1 shall be moved to workspace 3 with the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl-Shift-Alt + Arrow/Cursor left"
- The active window has to cross the workspace 2 with the VM
-> When typing again the above shortcut, the primary screen of the VM jumps to workspace 3!
Only the previously selected window shall be moving, not the VM window!
Possible cause:
When crossing the VM workspace, the window focus changes to the VB window (which you can get usually by pressing the Host-Key within the VM).
Pressing again the shortcut will move the now active VM window.
What shall happen:
Window focus shall stay unchanged to the (e.g. Chrome) window.
VB 5.0.32 does not have this problem and works fine.
