Package: gnome-boxes
Version: 3.25.91-1
Severity: serious
[I don't know whether this bug lies in gnome-boxes or gnome-shell or
some combination of both. Release-critical because this completely
breaks the ability to log into many Windows VMs with gnome-boxes under
the default GNOME Wayland session.]
The mechanism gnome-boxes uses to grab the keyboard doesn't work under
the default GNOME Wayland session. This makes it impossible to send
Ctrl-Alt-Delete; it always goes to gnome-shell instead.
(It might also help to add Ctrl-Alt-Delete to the list of shortcuts
provided in the gnome-boxes keyboard menu, alongside Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
and similar.)
