keystrokes out of order -> guest operating system problem
| Reported by: | adamf | Owned by: | |

| Component: | other | Version: | VirtualBox 4.3.32 |

Description
I am finding that virtualbox frequently gets into a state where it isn't handling keystrokes properly, in order.
For example, I was trying to type 'information'. First try got 'ifnormation', second try got 'informatoin', third try 'infnoramtion'. Only when I slow down to about 10wpm and watch every keystroke is it correct. As I type up this ticket on the windows host, I'm typing at 100wpm with no errors.
Host: win7 Guest: ubuntu 14.x (also seen with an ubuntu 12.x guest)
Simply saving and restoring the VM fixes the problem.

Turns out the problem is with ubuntu and chrome. Defect is: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=410649; closed as wontfix as the problem was narrowed down to the ubuntu ibus system. To shutdown ibus, go to system settings / language support / keyboard input method. (http://askubuntu.com/questions/510430/disable-ibus-in-ubuntu-14-04) Please close. (I can't see any way in oracle's bug tracker for the reporter to do so.)
