Question cursor slips out of window in virtualbox


when the cursor is captured, the system host cursor flies out of the virtual machine window, that is, the cursor does not "stick" to the virtualbox window, virtualbox 7.0.8 is installed from virtualbox.org (virtualbox from the repositories does not work correctly), archlinux, KDE, wayland. sorry for google translate

For what it's worth, in my experience, if you have guest additions installed, that is normal behavior. You can move the cursor out of the VM and be back to the host machine. When you move the cursor back over the VM window, the cursor is once again functional in the VM.

I much prefer this behavior to having to press a key to allow the cursor to escape the VM.

Just my opinion.
