I managed successfully to install mac OS 10.12.5 client on 10.12.5 host. Initially everything looked perfect until I have noticed that after random time mouse cursor stops working. Client is still running - I can use keyboard or ssh to it but mouse is dead. If I suspend and start again then mouse will start working again. But will stop after some time. Anybody experienced something similar? Any suggestions?

Hello @DariuszB, when this issue occurs, does the mouse cursor disappear in the client OSX or would it remain visible while couldn't be moved around?

Please shut down the virtual machine. Then, open the virtual machine configuration window, navigate to Hardware -> Mouse & Keyboard and remove the checkmark from both 'Smooth scrolling' and 'Mouse pointer sticks at window edges'. Also, select 'Don't optimize for games' for 'Mouse'. And then, navigate to Boot Order -> Advanced Settings and type devices.usb.mouse=0 in the text field under 'Boot flags'. Close the virtual machine configuration window and then check for the issue.

Thank you for suggestions.
1 - I do not have Windows - both host and client are Mac OS.
2 - I played with settings - and actually is looks that if I select Auto-detect for Games and Mouse pointer sticks at window edges - it works. at least for the last couple of hours when before pretty much after few minutes cursor was gone.

I don't follow. So right now, the cursor still disappears inside the client OSX?
