To reproduce: On Ubuntu, go to System -> Preference -> Mouse[[BR]] Click the check box for : ""Show position of pointer when control key is pressed""[[BR]] Close the window[[BR]] Test if it works by pressing both CTRL keys. If it works, a concentric circle animation is shown around the pointer making the position of the mouse pointer on the screen very obvious. The problem: When the above is in effect, start a VM on VirtualBox, try to use hostkey to capture mouse or to go to the virtual terminals if you're running linux. (HostKey + F1). The action takes no effect in my case. Also not able to take snapshots (HostKey + S) or Quit the VM (HostKey + Q). Thanks,[[BR]] Yogesh Girikumar.
