Description (last modified by )
Occasionally drag and drop functionality on the host OS breaks when using VirtualBox. This happens after I've been working in the VM, then I move the mouse back to the host OS.
Drag and drop stops working until I press the ESC key.
This is apparently a longstanding problem per https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5562&p=214052.
