How to disable horizontal scrolling within virtualbox on Ubuntu guest, Windows 7 host?

Well since the the ZAxisMapping should already disable the horizontal scrolling in my question, but of course did still not seem to work, I have found that it was actually a virtualbox bug that has something to do with the ALT key modifier. Basically the scrolling will switch from vertical to horizontal if the ALT key is pressed at the same time as falling into the virtualbox window. This happened to me because I was using dexpot in Win7 with the desktop switching feature using the alt key.

Until the bug is corrected, the workaround is after getting into the vbox window and noticing that scrolling was switched to horizontal, you need to hit the host key, hit ALT again, then manually click the vbox window to return to it, without touching the alt button. For now, I do not use the alt key for switching desktops, and everything works fine again.

Nice one! This frustrated me for hours! – Rupert Jan 10 '11 at 4:37 I'm glad it helped you =) – Steven Rosato Jan 18 '11 at 15:52.

I had the same issue - until I installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions.

I do have them installed. I will try to reinstall them. – Steven Rosato Mar 28 '10 at 16:21 Well no, latest version installed, still bugging.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
