Bug Description
Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
At least for the combination of Ubuntu 8.10 and Virtualbox-OSE 2.0.4 i can reproduce the following behavior evry time:
If under the (Ubuntu) settings for the mouse i activate "find pointer" (Show position of the mousepointer whe CTRL key is pressed), then no CTRL-<key> is handed to my Windows2000 Guest in the virtualbox.
For example: An CTRL-C arrives as a simple C, So cut and paste controlled by keyboard is effectively not available.
Update: Also can be reproduced with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and VirtualBox-OSE 3.1.6

Do you have the same problem with other Qt/KDE applications, like e.g. "Konsole"? Does Ctrl-C arrive there correctly?
I could imagine, that this is a bug with the "find pointer" feature and not virtualbox-ose by itself.
