Virtualbox no longer captures keyboard under Wayland

My system is fully up to date but have noticed that Virtualbox no longer captures keyboard. If I run any key shortcuts they open on my desktop and not in the VM.

Name            : virtualbox
Version         : 7.0.20-1

Name            : wayland
Version         : 1.23.0-1

I have swayfx running as my window manager... has not been a problem in the past but only recently started to happen.

Not sure if anyone else is having the issue?

Re: Virtualbox no longer captures keyboard under Wayland

Well, I haven't used VirtualBox under linux until today, I can't get the guest to capture keyboard inputs either...

Seems to work now for me but it's a bit bugged-
