Windows guests in seamless & fullscreen modes do not respond to mouse button events -> duplicate of #18567

[thoms]

Windows 7 & 10 guests on CentOS hosts do not respond to mouse button events when in seamless or fullscreen mode. This is observed when attempting to click the Windows Start menu, click an icon on the task bar, or when attempting to drag or resize an already opened window on the desktop. After reverting out of seamless or fullscreen mode, mouse button events work as expected.

• Did you observe this with 6.0.4?
• Do you have two or more monitors?
• Is "Mouse Integration" enabled or not?
• Have you taken a look at #18567 ?
• Have you taken a look at ​https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=92742 ?

1. It's usually better and faster, if issues get first addressed in the ​VirtualBox forums, a lot more eyes there. More than 95% of the issues are resolved in the forums, which keeps the developers focusing on the bug fixes and enhancements, and there is no need for another ticket to keep track of. For example, yours is most probably a Duplicate and someone from the developers has to deal with it and close it as such.

Plus a discussion and analysis on the bug tracker is going to help me, you, and potentially a future drive-by user or two. Not so in the forums, many more tend to benefit...

2. You were supposed to follow these steps when you filed the bug, and provide a VBox.log:

   Attach a (full) log file ("Machine" menu/"Show Log" in the main VirtualBox Manager window) straight away to save time for you and for us. The log file contains a lot of useful information about both the host and the guest systems as well as information about what happened during a particular machine run. Please do not cut and paste it.

Assuming this is a duplicate and closing it. (Thanks Socratis!)
