Fresh vSphere 6 install:
vCenter Appliance 6.0 2559267 (tiny config, embedded setup)
ESXi 6.0 2494585 and 2615704 (applied patch 201504001)
Client (admin) machine: Win2008R2 server with and without SP1, Chrome 41, Firefox 37, IE 11, Adobe Flash Player 15.0 and 17.0,
Tried all possible combinations with these (above), every time the same symptoms.
Experiencing issues with mouse in Web Client VM consoles, vSphere (C#) Client not affected:
1) When opening up a console for a VM where VMTools are not installed, mouse _movements_ are not forwarded to VM at all, clicks however are, keyboard input is forwarded / works.
2) When VMTools installed, it gets a bit better, however still problematic
- Whenever a VM console is opened up, if the browser window of vSphere Web Client was maximized, the new window / tab with the console gets maximized as well and "stretches" the VMs desktop - seems like makes every pixel larger. When browser window with the console is restored down, the VMs desktop in it gets "resized" to fit the window.
- Mouse movements seem to work (with VMTools installed), however only in area that is the VMs "native, non-resized, not-stretched-pixel" resolution - f.x. if my WinVM has a screen resolution of 800x600, I fire up a console in Web Client and it gets opened up in a browser window of size 1600x1200, visually every pixel gets "stretched" and made 4 times larger in the console, however mouse moves only in upper left quarter of the VMs desktop, which seems to be related to "VMs native non-resized resolution". Once I restore down the browser window with the console to size equal or smaller than VMs "native resolution", mouse movements work across all desktop areas in the console.
Does not sound like a trivial thing to solve from the first look, however maybe anyone has come across a setting that would Disable the Stretching of VMs Desktop in Web Client Console? This would perfectly fit as a workaround.
Any other thoughts / suggestions are more than welcome.
Thanks in advance!
