Package: virtualbox-qt Version: 4.3.18-dfsg-3+deb8u3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
To reproduce: 1. Capture the keyboard for a running guest (or just give the guest window focus if auto capture is enabled). 2. Press a key combination bound by the host system's window manager (e.g. Super-Tab). Expected outcome: The key press is sent to the guest because the keyboard is captured. Actual outcome: The key press is processed by the host window manager as normal. I would expect keyboard capture to invoke XGrabKeyboard(3), so that all key events not intercepted by the host kernel or X server can go to the guest. The lack of this can impair usability of the guest system. One potential difficulty with an indefinite keyboard grab is that a screensaver will not be able to lock the screen. x2vnc, for example, deals with this by releasing its grab after a period of inactivity. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldoldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldoldstable'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages virtualbox-qt depends on: ii dpkg 1.17.25 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u1 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.2-10 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 10.3.2-1+deb8u1 ii libqt4-network 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1 ii libqt4-opengl 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1 ii libstdc++6 4.9.2-10 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.14-1+b1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1+b1 ii virtualbox 4.3.18-dfsg-3+deb8u3 virtualbox-qt recommends no packages. virtualbox-qt suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
