Ticket #7345, comment 10
v3 v4 8 8 As I can hover over the VirtualBox window and this is transported to the virtual machine as well (objects get highlighted), I wonder what this feature does differently (except blocking the Synergy use case, of course ;-) )... 9 9 10 10 11 Update: 12 11 13 Now I noticed a difference: my mouse gestures from the host system aren't transported to the virtual system anymore. But I can live with that. 12 14 15 13 16 Update 2: 17 14 18 Keystrokes like e. g. Alt+Tab aren't working as well in the virtual system without auto-capture option. 15 19 16 20 It seems that the auto-capture option isn't a feature but a workaround to being able to disable normal auto-capture behaviour, because it has deficites like not releasing the capture properly when moving the mouse away from the virtual screen. 17 21 22 18 23 Update 3: 24 19 25 I noticed another change in behaviour after working with the auto-capture option disabled. 20 26 Previously, global hotkeys that are handled by the host system were partially transported to the guest as well, though having released the capture focus via host key prior! This was an annoying unwanted behaviour, cause it seems to affect modifier keys that are transported to the guest, while omitting the corresponding normal key. This resulted in a sticky modifier key in the guest. This happened to me multiple times a day, e. g. when locking my system via WIN+l. 21 27 22 28 I may be wrong, but meanwhile I got the impression that there is one root cause that causes multiple issues: auto-capture being too aggressive. 29 23 30 It may be possible therefore, to improve various usability issues with improving the auto-capture feature!
