Hi
I occasionally have this strange mouse issue in VirtualBox.
Running an update version of Fedora 25 with GNOME and wayland. (64 bit) Most recent VirtualBox 5.1.22 Guest Windows 10 with Guest Additions Installed.
Sometimes the mouse partially stops working and the only way to reset it I've found is to power off the guest.
When I say partially I mean
1) mouse pointer still moves 3) it can be used to trigger the GNOME task switcher (top left corner) 4) no other control responds to clicks
As soon as the Guest stops, everything starts working again.
Keyboard still works and this is what I use to gracefully shut down the guest.
Somehow the mouse click event is trapped by Virtual Box and cannot be used.
I know it makes little sense, but this is my best description at the moment.

The first question I would ask myself is, "does this behavior also occur if I run GNOME-X11 in the host system?".
P.S. I dislike the changes to the list software which now requires me to use "Reply List". I keep forgetting that. :-(

Things are getting clearer.
Only happens in wayland and it only affects XWayland applications. So Firefox, Thunderbird, VirtualBox stop receiving mouse event, but GNOME Terminal, window decorations, software, rythmbox still work.
I found as well a big report

I wonder if it is remotely related to this bug?

If I happen to cross over a virt-viewer window on my way to some other window, the virt-viewer keeps the keyboard focus. (Probably not the same, other than obviously screwed up grabbing in some app).

Sorry to say this, but VBox taints the kernel, so if you end up having kernel ooops or panics, you will not be able to file a bug.

How is that comment relevant? virt-viewer has nothing to do with virtualbox. It's the application you use to access qemu/kvm virtual machines.

Oh, I see. The original subject was about virtualbox, but the message you quoted wasn't.

That bugreport does not mention wayland or not.
But I get as well the keyboard problem, but it is much less sever as no other app is affected and a simple focus switch fixes it.
