Description Lasse Schuirmann 2014-04-26 20:10:37 UTC 
When having a VM running, going to Properties -> Devices I am allowed to redirect the mouse I'm using.

When having problems with mouse or keyboard an unexperienced user might be tempted to press this button in which case his mouse will not move anymore. (It did on my system. It's great knowing how a keyboard works.)

I think we should really have at least a warning here.

A screenshot of the affected settings page is appended.
