To be clear, that's a KDE issue, not Wayland.  Gnome supports that option.

Yeah, Wayland is not quite ready for prime time. It is still missing
features. I do my best to avoid it.

(This is one of the most important features (for me). X11 has it,

Hi,

It took me a while to understand that Wayland was the source of my
problem so I share my experience so that others can be quicker to
solve this issue.

I moved to F40 and Plasma came only with Wayland. Then, everything
seemed OK apart that my Windows VM running in VirtualBox did not
capture the mouse (quite annoying!). I run VirtualBox 7.0.18-1.fc40
from rpmfusion-free-updates.

I tried all options for the mouse (PS/2 mouse, USB tablet, multi-touch
USB tablet and USB MT TouchScreen and TouchPad) but nothing worked.
The VirtualBox menu above the VM was also not accessible.

After one week of research, I found this post:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1512787/ubuntu-22-04-2-virtualbox-7-0-18-captured-mouse-is-not-contained-when-integrat

and installed plasma-workspace-x11. I now run X11 Plasma and
VirtualBox works fine.

Thanks,

F


plasma-workspace-x11 in F40 may be auto-erased by later kde updates. 
Playground dispute.

Running VirtualBox as server ? and what are the guest systems ?
