Seamless mode - mouse not working in host OS

Post by Pokerfiend »

So I have virtualbox up and running on my iMac with windows 7 as the guest OS, and guest additions installed. When I switch to seamless mode, it looks as you would expect it to, with both OS merged, but I am unable to use the mouse to click on anything within the host OS. Very confusing, please help!

  1. Moving this to "OSX hosts" from "Windows guests". All guests that can run seamless have this problem in OSX hosts.
  2. Known issue: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/16246
