Well, for one it is a bug for others a feature :-) Many many people consider it a huge improvement that the mouse can seamlessly leave and enter the guest GUI (for quite a few releases I think).
The behavior to some extend depends on the device that is used and guest support. So depending on how you usually control/start you VM qemu/libvirt/virt-manager/... you might find good hints how to change the device types in the following links (there mostly people want it enabled, but the guides can be followed in reverse). http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/107633/how-do-i-get-my-mouse-back-from-qemu-kvm http://serverfault.com/questions/457603/any-way-to-release-focus-on-a-kvm-guest-in-virt-manager-without-having-to-click If that doesn't help you, please let me know how you manage&start your guests so I can focus on that. ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670652 Title: No way to contain pointer in VM window Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: In a Qemu VM, the unity8 side gestures (for the launcher and app switcher) cannot be activated.
