And as mentioned in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1258023#c6 , this is caused by the USB keyboard Boxes adds to its VMs.

This may be the case, but this bug is still neither fixed in Fedora 22 nor in Fedora 23, the latter approaching final release.

Comment 3 Christophe Fergeau 2015-11-30 15:57:17 UTC
The key (102nd keyboard key) properly reaches QEMU, but it then somehow dropped. This can be reproduced with
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -display sdl -cdrom /home/teuf/redhat/isos/Fedora-Live-Workstation-i686-21-5.iso -m 2G -usb -device usb-kbd
and does not happen if -usb -device usb-kbd is dropped.
