id summary reporter owner description type status component version resolution keywords cc guest host 17091 USB Keyboard inoperative after Device menu selected from mini toolbar Feline "Both my Windows and Linux guests run fullscreen and I have the mini toolbar set at the bottom of the screen. If I select the Devices menu from the mini toolbar the keyboard becomes inoperative to the guest currently running. To re-create, open a terminal window in the guest and then hover over the mini toolbar to get it to display. Select the Devices drop-down (you don't actually need to select anything like USB or Insert GA). Now try and type something into the guests terminal window and nothing happens. If you use the mouse the minimise the Guest window and select the guest again from the hosts status bar then the keyboard works again within the guest. System Details: Host - Debian 9 with Mate desktop and 4.12.6 kernel from Stretch backports. Guests - Windows 7 Professional 32-bit with all up-to-date service. Mint Debian Edition 2 (Jessie based) with Mate desktop - happens with both 32-bit and 64-bit flavours. Both keyboard and mouse are attached via a KVM device.
