Since this update, I seem to be hitting the following on x86 and amd64:

Downgrading to 1.7.1 works.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for the report and upstream bug link!
Apparently from last comment, reverting a commit should help for virtualbox, not sure of its effect on other RDP connections?

In the meantime, I added epatch_user support in 1.8.1, to help testing custom patches

Upstream reports this is fixed with 1.8.2:
* Fix issue with mouse / keyboard against VirtualBox RDP

I added it to the tree, marking this bug fixed but don't hesitate to reopen this bug if this version does not work for you!

Excellent, tested and works fine on x86 and amd64 here.

Thanks for the quick bump Bernard.
