Keyboard is not released from VM

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We are seeing a seemingly random issue
  • The keyboard is not released from the VM
  • The VM is in full screen
  • moving out of the VM monitor (there are 2 monitors on the client) to an application on the client system, the mouse input (clicks, drags, right-click, etc.) works fine on the client
  • Keyboard input is still being directed to the VM
  • Shift+F12 has no effect
  • The only way to release the keyboard is to leave full screen and go back in

Environment

  • Windows 7 installed on physical hardware running dual video heads
  • IE 9 used to connect to RHEV Manager
  • RHEL 6.4 VM running in a Spice console on the Windows 7 client.
