[Bug 1085606] [NEW] Alt+middle click resize of VirtualBox VM window causes resize box to freeze

 

Public bug reported:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Start VirtualBox OSE (currently 4.1.18-dfsg-1ubuntu1.1 installed)
2. Start a virtual machine (Windows or Linux, doesn't matter)
3. Alt+middle click on virtual machine window to resize

OBSERVED BEHAVIOUR

* Resize focus is lost, leaving the orange resize box stuck above all windows (retains its size even in Expo, i.e. it's above the workspaces)
* All resize functionality is lost, including via left click on borders of *any* windows.
* Closing the virtual machine window causes the orange resize box to disappear, restores all resize functionality, including window borders and alt+middle click.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

* Orange box should resize as mouse is moved
* As middle mouse is released, virtual machine window should resize


I'm assuming this is a compiz issue, but something to do with VirtualBox and how it tried to grab input?
