#2610 fixed Linux host freezes/hangs when windows XP guest shuts down Martin
Description

Host is Mandriva 2006 with linux kernel 2.6.12 Guest is Windows XP SP3 with no other software installed.

When I shut down the guest, the host machine freezes at the moment the virtualbox window closes: the screen freezes and the machine stops responding to the mouse or keyboard and has to be rebooted.

#2612 fixed PAE can be enabled without VBoxManage Jelle Geerts
Description

When PAE is enabled by the guest OS and not enabled in the VM, VirtualBox pops up a message box telling that PAE should be enabled using VBoxManage.

But, this is already an option in the GUI, using VBoxManage is no longer necessary.

#2613 fixed Host key (ctrl) sometimes gets stuck down in Windows guest -> fixed in 4.3.24 myxiplx
Description

Not all the time, but regularly enough to be a nuisance, the host key gets stuck down within the guest after it's been used to free up the mouse. Does VirtualBox always send the "key-up" message to the guest after the host key has been pressed?

I'm running VirtualBox full screen on my second monitor, and often hit ctrl so that I can leave the virtual machine running, but free the mouse so I can continue working on my primary screen.

After doing this, about a quarter of the time, I go back to the guest to find the control key stuck down. It means typing is impossible, and unlocking a machine with your password is a nuisance until you spot what is going on. Tapping the left control key on the keyboard does seem to free it up again.

I also run the VMware Infrastructure Client within this virtual machine, and that requires the use of Ctrl+Alt to free the mouse from its client windows. A couple of times now that has wound up locking the mouse and keyboard within VirtualBox when I come back to it, and it appears to coincide with times the control key has gotten stuck down. I'm reporting this here instead of as a separate bug as I think it's just another symptom of the same problem.

For now I've changed my host key to the Scroll Lock button, that appears to be a useful workaround for now.
