[ubuntu] Virtual Box mouse freezing when entering full screen

Hi all,

I have been having issues with Virtual Box for some time when using Ubuntu as the Host.

When I run a virtual machine (no matter what OS it is) I am running into issues where the mouse is unable to click anything within the virtual machine. This seems to happen when I use ctrl+F to enter the full screen.

The only way I am able to gain mouse control is to ctrl+F out of full screen and forcibly shutdown / restart the VM.

If i leave the VM in windowed mode this issue does not seem to happen as often, but full screen it happens 100% of the time.

I do not believe this is an issue with Virtual Box as I have Virtual Box (same version) running on a different PC as a windows host.

I have been having this issue with some time, through multiple versions of Virtual box and since Ubuntu 20.04, I am now running Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS x86_64 and Virtual Box Version 7.0.6 r155176 (Qt5.15.3).

Has anyone had a similar issue and know how I might resolve this?

Thanks in advance Adam.
