Scroll wheel doesn't work on Windows Host/Ubuntu Guest

Post by ghostravenstorm »

Having issues getting my scroll wheel to working on a Windows Host / Ubuntu Guest machine. It barely registers. The problem goes away when I disable mouse integration, but then my mouse cursor disappears completely when moving it to another virtual display. My Ubuntu VM is currently setup with 2 virtual dispaly spanning across two monitors. This Ubuntu VM is essentially a separated C++ dev environment.

Start the guest from full power off, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the guest from within the guest OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the guest with the Power Off option set.

Please right-click the guest in the main Virtualbox window's guest list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip the log file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
