Issue: sticky CTRL and ALT keys, inconsistent mouse focus when neo2 German keyboard layout is used on host-OS

Hi all,

 

if the "neo2" German keyboard layout is selected on the host-OS, then the major UI problems are experienced:

 

1. Mouse focus between guest and host is totally inconsistent, clicks are not caught neither on guest-OS, nor on host-OS.

 

2. CTRL and ALT keys are getting sticky both on guest-OS and host-OS. For example ALT-Tab on host-OS brings the application switch dialog that remains on top forever. Maybe other keys, like Win-key are also sticky -- it is difficult to test.

 

If one selects a plain "En" keyboard layout on host-OS, then things are almost OK, however neo2 layout on guest OS is not fully working: the right AltGr key is not working.

 

Are there any solutions/workaurounds for this issue?
