My previous post (viewtopic.php?t=85144#p404785) was merged to the wrong VB forum section, so I'm going to try again.
Since upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10 and VirtualBox 5.2.0, I've run into a problem where after a while, mouse clicks no longer work. Both in the guest and the host. I can see the mouse, but clicking does absolutely nothing. Once the guest has been shut down, then the mouse works again and I can restart the guest. Sometimes it takes minutes to fail, other times it takes a few days.
Host is Ubuntu 17.10 running with 3 monitors. Guest is Windows 7 running full-screen on 2 monitors.

Re: mouse clicks in Ubuntu 17.10 and VB 5.2
Keep in mind that according to the forum rules, duplicate posts are not allowed. It's not good etiquette. I explained to you the situation in detail. I do not want to start locking threads and deleting posts. Please continue the discussion in the related thread, mouse click does not work with 2 virtual screens.
If it makes you feel any better, I can move that thread to "Using VirtualBox", because it seems to be an Ubuntu 17.04 issue, both as a host and as a guest.
