[solved] problem with chrome and 3 dot/line menu

Post#1 by buttons » 22 Oct 2016, 11:34

Hi, I've just been remastering for 2 kiosks I look after, and before installing on live machine I test on a virtualbox machine first. I've discovered that there appears to be an issue with Google Chrome in the latest version.
If you select any option from chrome's menu (I discovered it when trying to select print - and thought it might've been to do with my printer driver xzm, but happens if you select find or any other option) the session simply logs out.
Clearly I can't upgrade the real stations whilst this happens.
I tried Firefox, no problem there, but then again there isn't a menu in the same way on Firefox.

For reference the config of the station is:

Code: Select all

This bug is specific to VirtualBox and touch input only. If you change virtual input device to PS2 or test kiosk on a real hardware then everything will be ok.

Thanks.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

Thankyou for your speedy reply and apologies for my tardy acknowledgement. Yes, that was it, the tablet input option must've been default!!
:good:
