Strange mouse issue in VirtualBox - users - Fedora Mailing-Lists

Sunday, 7 May 2017

Hi

I occasionally have this strange mouse issue in VirtualBox.

Running an update version of Fedora 25 with GNOME and wayland. (64 bit)
Most recent VirtualBox 5.1.22
Guest Windows 10 with Guest Additions Installed.

Sometimes the mouse partially stops working and the only way to reset it I've found is
to power off 
the guest.

When I say partially I mean

1) mouse pointer still moves
3) it can be used to trigger the GNOME task switcher (top left corner)
4) no other control responds to clicks

As soon as the Guest stops, everything starts working again.

Keyboard still works and this is what I use to gracefully shut down the guest.

Somehow the mouse click event is trapped by Virtual Box and cannot be used.

I know it makes little sense, but this is my best description at the moment.
