Double click to single click in VirtualBox GUI

[chrisq]

Whether I click on the QT Menu's(File, Machine, View...) or within the VM I have to double-click to produce a single click, I think it might be a QT bug along these lines, ​http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18444431/mouse-events-blocked-because-of-qgl-view If I turn off Mouse Integration in the menu the cursor is captured and I can use the VM normally.

A couple of questions. Could you please attach a virtual machine log file? Which window manager are you using? Does it make any difference whether or not the machine window is focused when you click in the menu?

Happening for me as well - it's not EVERY click but maybe 60-70% of clicking needs to be done twice to produce a single click. Started with upgrade from 5.1.6 to 5.1.8. Host is running RHEL 7.3, guest is Windows 7.

I can only immediately see one change since 5.1.6 that I would think might be related<1>, though I can't quite see how. Here are two test builds anyway for *EL 7 - just before the change<2> and just after<3>. By the way, please attach a host log file (fortunately you mentioned which host system you were using at least for the purpose of providing the builds).

I would like to help with this case, this behavior is getting pretty annoying. For testing the above RPM's is it ok to take an existing system running 5.1.10 and downgrade?

My host is RHEL 7.2. I only see a /var/log/vbox-install.log file - is there a different host log file that you need?

[Michael Thayer]

I meant the log files on the host in $HOME/VirtualBox VMs/<Machine name>/Logs, also accessible through the menus in VirtualBox (can't remember which now). And yes, you can uninstall your version of VirtualBox and install a test build instead. This should not affect your virtual machines.
