OS2Warp4.52 Guest Additions: mouse pointer has defective behavior

Hi Lars.
--- Quote from: Lars on January 06, 2024, 03:46:29 pm ---The Virtualbox provided additions have a fixed "VBoxSF.ifs" for quite some time now. It was fixed in >= 6.1.32 and is working just fine (with shared folders) with the provided "VBoxSF.ifs".

Thanks for the tip. I had installed VirtualBox Addons version 7 from the VBox 7 Addons, and sharing folders works with WPS integration. So, I guess I will use the newer ones. I will keep testing it.

Hi Lars.
I found a limitation on the VBOXAdditions 7. I was not able to copy a file, from the WPS guest, to the shared folder (host). It says "SYS0266: The specified file was not copied". I made sure I had "full access" while sharing. On the host is creates a file with the right name but 0 size bytes.
I do not have that limitation with Valery's VBoxAdditions, it just shows me a warning that EAs will not be copied and allowed me to copy files to the Windows host.
Regards

Copy from the commandline. That works ok.
VBOXSF.IFS (from Virtualbox) seemingly does not properly handle the FS_COPY command for remote drives (because that's how shared folders are represented to the OS/2 guest).
It would be nice if you raised a bug with Virtualbox.

Lars, the point is that VBOXFS.IFS file by Valery's GA has fixed the issue with the WPS window, that's why some of us feel ok with that version

Hi, since it seems not clear how try to solve directly by fixing video driver side, it would then be the case trying to force the pointer not changing shape when pass onto the icon (that is the moment that the issue happens).
Does anybody knows how to ?
Thank you
