What happened?
This error often occurs when I'm scrolling through an app or dragging a window and accidentally move it outside the VM. The screen freezes halfway, making the session unusable.
Operação de arrastar e soltar do convidado para o hospedeiro falhou.
DnD: Error: Requesting pending data from guest failed (VERR_TIMEOUT).

How can we reproduce this?
It seems that an open application is required to reproduce this. Try to drag an object from the app out of the window (to the taskbar's host, to be exactly); if it doesn't trigger, try dragging an image from the browser instead.
Did you upload all of your necessary log files, screenshots, etc.?
- Yes, I've uploaded all pertinent files to this issue.
