ALT-TAB not working anymore after update to Version 5.1.32 r120294

Post by RaXon »

Hi,

after updating Debian (both host & guest system) my alt-tab is only working strange...

in the guest os, alt-tab is showing the host alt-tab, choosing virtualbox and then tab wil show the original alt-tab (guest system) seems like the alt is hanging or somewhat, host key and other shortcuts are still working as expected. but not the alt & tab...

kind regards RaXon

So, if you downgrade to (what were you on before?) does it get fixed?

is there a way to see the old version, and a way to downgrade to that version, i see that you need to uninstall and then reinstall the program
i use this repository, how to get the previous (old version) back ?

Q: What were you doing before repositories were invented?
A: You were uninstalling/installing things manually. Downloads » VirtualBox older builds:
