    initial v1

    77I searched for the offending process:
     8
     9{{{
    810$ ps aux | grep "VBoxClient --draganddrop" | grep "Sl"
     11}}}
     12
    913
    1014and killed it; the mouse pointer left-clicking functionality immediately returned:
     15
     16{{{
    1117$ kill -11 <the pid number>
     18}}}
     19
    1220
    1321I then manually restarted the process:
     22
     23{{{
    1424$ /usr/bin/VBoxClient --draganddrop
     25}}}
     26
    1527
    1628After forcing the issue, killing and restarting the process, I am no longer able to force the issue again.  I wonder if the instigator of this problem needs to reach critical mass before the problem can reappear.
     
    2032In summary, I have confirmed that there is a defect with multi-monitor support that occurs with holding down the mouse button in the guest and dragging the mouse pointer from guest monitor to host monitor.  Has this defect been found and fixed already?  If not, is it currently being investigated?

    22 By the way... I don't know if this is related, but sometimes clipboard functionality from guest to host fails.  I copy data to the guest's clipboard in guest, but attempting to pasting that data the host fails; the host clipboard's contents did not get replaced with the contents of the guest's clipboard.  I have to "/usr/bin/VBoxClient --clipboard" to get it working again.
