mouse refuse to release in linux

[dananothername]

i tried left+right
mouse while button
ctrl+end
but no use

[abehling]

Does the middle mouse button to release work?

[DeeDeeRanged]

@dananothername In virtualbox default is it just the right ctrl key.
Or did you mean that with "i tries left+right" as it is not clear.

[dananothername]

it's not a regular VB
tried left+right mouse keys

I am having this same problem with PCem 17 on Ubuntu 22.10. It shows CTRL-END in the titlebar but this does not work. I have tried with several keyboards. I can use middle click to release mouse when using 2 button mouse emulation but there is no way I can find to release the mouse when using 3 button mouse emulation.

I confirm that CTRL+END also doesn't work for me.

The PCem I'm using is Gentoo's app-emulation/pcem-17-r1

I can confirm this is still a problem on Fedora 38. Tested on two machines (ThinkPad T430, and a homebuilt Ryzen5 system). Tried this with both the packaged version in Fedora as well as one I compiled.

Have the same issue. Ubuntu 22.04. Only workaround is to log in with ssh using another machine and kill the pcem process.
