This makes it extremely difficult to work with the virtual machine as the mouse is quite often not focused on the machine when you need it to be. Pressing <CTRL> G to force grabbing does not change this behavior. If you persist with trying to work with the VM for a period of time, the entire desktop machine seems to loose the meta keys (ie CTRL, ALT etc). So you can't use <CTRL> D for example after closing the VMWare console. If you do this in a konsole session etc, you will see a D on the screen instead of exiting that konsole session. Restarting the DE resolves this. This is reproducable across 2 machines (x86_64 and i386 installs). It is also reproducable using both KDE and Gnome DEs. The exact versions of Firefox used are: MozillaFirefox-3.5.4-1.1.2.x86_64 MozillaFirefox-3.5.4-1.1.2.i586 VMWare version: VMware Infrastructure Web Access Version 2.0.0 Build 128374 However, under Firefox 3.5.5 from the Mozilla website, the virtual machine behavior returns to normal and grabbing releasing input works correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Using Firefox 3.5.4 from openSUSE 11.2 2.Open VMWare console and attempt to work with the virtual machine 3.As mouse is moved the VM continually grabs / releases input (the status text keeps changing to confirm this) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
