All,

This is a strange one, confirmed on two separate Archlinux Guests running in VirtualBox on Archlinux Hosts. I access the running VMs with rdesktop over the LAN. After update to Linux 4.17.2 & xorg-server 1.20.0-8, VirtualBox-5.2.12 starts the Archlinux guests fine, X starts fine in the guests (running fluxbox), and pressing the right-mouse brings up the fluxbox-menu fine, but there is no way to select an item with the left-mouse.

When the xterm is open, there is no way to grab the title-bar and move the xterm around, again, as if the left-mouse input isn't seen. An moving the cursor over the bottom of the window will not bring up the taskbar.

This effects Linux guest, but not windows guests. I can start Win7 in a VM and opening in remote-desktop works just fine. (all mouse buttons work fine and the cursor position tracks properly bringing up the auto-hidden taskbar on mouseover)

Can someone with a similar VirtualBox setup confirm this behavior? I suspect it would effect any Linux Guest that runs X and a desktop and is accessed with rdesktop. For all practical purposes this update prevent accessing Linux guest with rdesktop.

-- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. Hi David + List

Same behaviour for me. I resolved it by installing the synaptics input driver in the guest for now as I did not have time to debug.

BR I have the same behaviour on my Arch Linux guest, but for me both right- and left-click do not work. I have had to downgrade the kernel and the VirtualBox guest modules.

Seeing the same here. If you have both linux 4.17.x and Xorg 1.20.x in a guest with VirtualBox 5.2.12 managing it, mouse focus is lost. I found a "dirty" workaround. Blacklisting vboxguest. I opened a bug upstream : https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/17827 At least, I got my mouse focus back! -- Frederic Bezies fredbezies@gmail.com
