-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all.
After upgrading to vbox 1.6.0, I'm finding that I'm having strange keyboard issues in a debian testing guest, running under a winxp pro host. What is happening is that keyboard input in the guest is sluggish, and some of the key strokes are going through to the host, instead of the guest. I've also found that when holding down either shift key to type a capital letter in the guest, the shift key seems to be "stuck" for some letters, but not for others, (I.E. if I type an "r", I get an "R" no matter what I do, but typing an "e" will give me an "e" as it should). Finally, this seems to effect the host as well. Once I halt the guest, I've found that random things will happen with the keyboard in the host. For example, the startmenu key won't work at times. Ctrl+esc acts as ctrl+alt+del. I get capital letters when typing small letters, and the reverse is true, and things of that nature. The host keyboard issues go away once I reboot the host, and until I start the guest again. My machine has been acting up lately, so I wanted to know if others running linux guests under windows hosts were having this same sort of problem under vbox 1.6.0, before I went ahead, and called it a vbox bug, instead of a hardware problem on my end. Having said that though, my machine is fine in general, and only has intermittent problems, and I didn't have these keyboard issues when running the same guest vm under 1.5.6 or earlier. Oh yes, I do have the 1.6.0 linux additions installed in the guest.
