Also, the mouse fails to work through the guest UI. Clicking, selecting, etc. Pausing and resuming the virtual machine does not help.

I will uninstall this version until I see a fix or workaround posted (updated openvm tools?). My colleague did the same. Too bad because two annoying problems we were having were fixed in this release: slow Ubuntu server booting and inability to use bridged network).

@Korbiniancould you change the title to remove the "enhanced" part since this doesn't seem to be related to just the enhanced keyboard driver? Or did the regular keyboard driver work for you?

After working for a few minutes (< 5min), the keyboard (*not* the enhanced keyboard driver) just stopped working in an Ubuntu 22.04 guest OS. Host is Windows 11 Pro on Dell XPS 15. This happened to a colleague of mine, too, so it's unlikely to be tied to a particular user's configuration (though we do have the same model host machines).

I can ssh to the guest so I know it's running just fine. The clock updates, too, so the UI itself is running. If I reboot the host+guest, the keyboard comes back for a few minutes then dies again. So this is probably a guest tools problem. I've got the latest installed via `apt`. I get the status messages about using Ctrl+G and Alt+Ctrl, but no luck actually typing into the guest VM through the UI.
