I first encountered this while ""walking"" in a 3D video game, where this bug also results in a Network-Lag but it not only happens in games it also can be reproduced on the Desktop. The guest OS here is Windows XP with SP3, with a 2 CPU host and guest. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create new empty textfile 2. Press a character key 3. Move the mouse several times in a slow/normal speed from edge to edge (while the key is still pressed) '''Expected results:''' Character is written to text file endlessly and mouse cursor moves over the screen. '''Real result:''' Mouse and Screen freezes until the key press is released. The mouse move only hastens the thing, it also happens without mouse but than it takes way longer. I normally manage to get two freezes before the character hits the border, sometimes only one. If you need additional information , I'm glad to help as good as I can. Bye, Karsten " defect closed other VirtualBox 3.1.0 fixed Keystroke Windows Linux
