Esxi host client browser console turns orange when i double click in the vm. Is there a fix for this?

Whenever i double click anything from the guest OS in the Host Client Browser Console running on ESXi 6.0.0 U2, the whole console window turns orange. Is this a known issue, or is there a setting i need to turn off?

Screenshot attached.

Hi

For dismissing, do you have installed VMware Tools in the VMs?

sounds like when you double click you are then selecting the screen. If you single clikc i'm assuning it works but do you have to ctrl+alt to get out of the console?

I believe so. It looks like it's selecting the entire HTML5 control. I have to click somewhere outside the console window to deselect it so that  it returns to normal.

Single click works without issue, just like you thought. Only double clicks cause the behavior

‌Hi, I have recently become aware of this issue. It seems to be specific to Firefox and IE. Chrome is unaffected.

I believe I have a fix, which will be included in a soon to be released fling and the upcoming first patch update for ESXi 6.5

Can you use Chrome for now?
