Description Jason W. Bacon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-02-27 20:53:54 UTC 
1) ssh -Y some.other.host
2) VirtualBox
3) Click "New"
4) Try to enter a VM name in the "Name" box and there is no response.  Mouse events are still handled properly, so I can work around it by cutting and pasting the text I need from some other window.

The problem is not occurring with the latest virtualbox-ose, so I think we can close this.
