Bug Description
Binary package hint: virt-manager
One thing I've noticed is that when switching in and out of the VM window, often the keyboard and mouse state are not synchronized with the host OS. For example, the Caps Lock key's state can sometimes end up backwards from the host OS, the up button can end up held down for no reason (causing no end of trouble), the mouse buttons can go insane, leaving me with 500 Gnome trash windows (stuck in the lower right hand corner clicking), etc.
It's quite unpleasant, *and common*, and ought to be looked into. The Caps Lock is the most annoying, but the general unreliability of whether a key is down or not is certainly a serious bug for usability.

Thanks for reporting this issue.
What version of virt-manager are you having these problems on, and with that Guest OS and Host OS?
Is this still an issue with the virt-manager version that is currently in Lucid?
