I have tried without "repeat=on" option, and with 2.8.0 I still seem to be getting weird behavior with mouse dropping out at points, and with keys seemingly being continued to be pressed (ie still running around in an fps game after releasing the key). I also experienced at one point l-ctrl+r-ctrl not passing keyboard control to guest, and needed to VNC in to shutdown/restart guest (this was after plugging in a usb xbox360 controller, not sure if related).

In some cases, mouse control is also lost following one of these "freezes". I also noticed that one of the four cpu cores I have the guest pinned to ramps to 100% during these freezes.
