Description
I can't enter the vdi disk size with the keyboard. I select the proposed value with the mouse and start to type the desired value. Only the first character appears and the bell rings for any other character I try to enter. I was creating a new Open Media Vault virtual machine (Debian x86_64). This happens also with CentOS guests. I can use the slider.
VirtualBox Version 5.2.26 r128414 (Qt5.6.3) Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G6030) Apple Wireless keyboard (bluetooth) (no numeric keypad, batteries at 100%) Apple Wireless trackpad (bluetooth) (batteries at 10%)

This bug is still there in 6.0.14:
Entering lowercase mb or gb after the number is impossible (second letter is rejected) and entering only m or g or M or G after the number keeps the "Create" button disabled.
Workaround is to enter uppercase MB or GB after the number.
This works with or without a space between number and letters.
I've been seeing that for the longest time, certainly throughout the life of 5.2.x, but it's almost never reproducible in a reliable way. I don't know what triggers it or not, that's why I never filed a ticket.
If you cancel out and repeat the procedure, it will most probably work...
