id summary reporter owner description type status component version resolution keywords cc guest host 12304 keystrokes reach both the host AND the guest even when the VM is capturing keyboard matteo sisti sette "When I hit the ""Window"" (also called ""super"") key or the Alt key, even if the icon on the status bar says the virtual machine _is_ capturing keyboard input, BOTH the guest AND the host react to the keystroke. So for example, when using Internet Explorer or the File Explorer within the window guest, if I hit the Alt key in order to have the application's menu show up, it works, but it also makes the Dash searchbox show up on the ubuntu host at the same time. This is not only annoying, this makes the guest almost unusable. Note that the first time I ran the VM, I got an informative message that explicitely told me that keyboard input was being captured and that it would NOT get to the host. This is a regression. I don't remember which was the last version I had used of VB but this definitely didn't use to happen (and the host was ubuntu too). This happens whether or not mouse integration is enabled, whenever keyboard input is being captured." defect closed host support VirtualBox 4.3.2 wontfix Windows Linux
