I move the mouse around in the lower right part of the screen. After a while the Activities menu is opened. I see nothing in the log that shows mouse movement to the upper left corner.

Yes, thats required. Otherwise the mouse pointer within the guest would just jump around and will hardly stay in sync with the host mouse pointer. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The offending change was eventually tracked down and corrected there, resolving this issue. The Fedora bug (#852841) is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852841 I recently installed a copy of OpenSUSE 12.2 to find the exact same behavior occurring that was corrected in the above Fedora bug fix. This issue makes the OS unusable for me. I believe this issue is also related to this OpenSUSE forum post about misbehaving virtualbox guests: https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/virtualization/4... As I stated there, for xorg-x11-server we need either a 7.6_1.12.0-x (downgrade) or 7.6_1.12.3-2.x or higher (upgrade). I could not find any versions prior to 7.6_1.12.3 in yast, and 7.6_1.12.3-1.17 is the newest currently available. Please advise...
