I just tried that now

I clicked the Toggle mouse mode and the status bar changes to "mouse:
server, agent: yes"

Now I try to drag a window in the guest.  The mouse pointer becomes
invisible and the window doesn't move.  Even after releasing the mouse
button, the pointer isn't visible any more.  At the bottom of the
screen, it suggests pressing left-shift+F12 to release the mouse, when I
press those keys the pointer becomes visible again.

I was using the old versions on the same machine yesterday and they
worked fine with the same guest.  The guest has been running for some
weeks without any restart and without any problems.
