Mouse not working in Virtualbox 6.1.14 with Arch Linux as Host

Reported by: 404_vip_not_found Owned by:
Component: other Version: VirtualBox 6.1.14
Keywords: Mouse Cc:
Guest type: Linux Host type: Linux

Description

I installed Kali Linux as Guest OS while the Host OS is Arch Linux. Whenever I go to Full-screen mode and return back to normal screen mode, the Mouse/Touchpad click is not working. I can move the cursor, but cannot click/tap or scroll through anything in both Guest OS (Kali) and Host OS (Arch).

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install Kali Linux as Guest and fully update the Guest OS.
  2. Reboot the VM.
  3. Switch to full screen mode with Host+F.
  4. Again, switch to normal screen mode with Host+F.
  5. Now, the mouse/touchpad stops working except moving the cursor in both Host(Arch) and Guest(Kali) OSs

This steps to reproduce fail rarely, but I can assure you it happens randomly each time when you stat up the VM and surf a bit.

When I shutdown my Guest(Kali) VM, then the mouse/touchpad operates normally as before.
