id summary reporter owner description type status component version resolution keywords cc guest host 4634 Mouse capturing problem Alexander Waldmann "If the mouse is captured, and I'm running a guest that doesn't have guest additions (read: OpenBSD), pressing one of the host keys that triggers an ""Are You Sure?"", like HOST+R doesn't release the mouse, and I cannot answer the dialog box. In that state, the VM is still stealing all input, so using the PC is impossible. Switching to a tty and VBoxManage controlvm poweroff didn't work. kill-ing it did. This issue may be related to me using ""window focus strictly under mouse"", which is an option under KDE. A workaround would be to immediately unlock the pointer whenever a dialog appears like that." defect closed GUI VirtualBox 3.0.0 obsolete mouse capture host keys other Linux
