VirtualBox occasionally breaks drag and drop on host OS

Description (last modified by aeichner)

Occasionally drag and drop functionality on the host OS breaks when using VirtualBox. This happens after I've been working in the VM, then I move the mouse back to the host OS.

Drag and drop stops working until I press the ESC key.

This is apparently a longstanding problem per https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5562&p=214052.

Identical problem with host of Windows 7 Enterprise SP 1, as is the client. VBox version 4.2.4r81684. Many thanks for the <ESC> key work-around!!
