Description
Host: Windows 7 Enterprise, initial NumLock state at "On" Guest: KDE Neon, initial NumLock state at "On"
Steps: Ensure NumLock is on for the host. Start the guest. Observe that the host's NumLock remains on. Enter the guest (e.g. click within the window). Ensure NumLock remains on. Return to the host (click the task bar or something that causes VBox to lose focus).
Expected outcome: Host's NumLock remains on.
Actual outcome: Host's NumLock turns off.
VBox version first observed: 5.1 Is 5.2.4 affected: Yes
After running a search, I wonder if these bugs are related in some way: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14614 https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14302
I am happy to provide any logs that might be needed.

Actually, after a second, more careful reading (and it was pointed out in the forums), it may not be a duplicate after all. Sorry for the hasty conclusion...
Replying to Twisted Lucidity:
"After running a search" ? Shouldn't you have done that before you filed a new ticket? Of course it's a duplicate! :D
Most probably of #14302.
