    Hi all,
    I've got an issue with my mouse.
    My setup might be a bit unique. But, figured I'll ask it anyways. Here's my setup:

    Host O/S: OSX 10.11 El Capitan
    Guest O/S: Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf Beta 1 + all current updates

    When I'm on my Mac the mouse pointer syncs up just fine with the VM's mouse pointer. However, when I try and access the VM from my laptop running Windows 10, the cursor seems to be out of sync with my laptop's cursor. What's odd is that when I move the cursor it doesn't stay the same amount of distance from the VM's cursor. It acts like it is attached to a bungee cord and depending on how fast I move the pointer, the further it is out of sync with the laptop's pointer.

    It seems to be particular to this VM because when I load up my old XP VM the pointer is perfectly synced with the laptop's pointer! (I haven't tried creating a new linux VM to see if it's particular to Ubuntu WW, or not).

    Anybody else experience this behavior? If so, were you able to resolved it?

    Thanks!

    Robert
