Description:

The mouse plays very badly. The cursor always stays at the default pointer. It doesn't change when hovering over link or when clicking buttons.
I am also unable to highlight text. Double-clicking will highlight but nothing else.


Additional info:

* Running Arch in VirtualBox 4.3.26 (Win7 64) with virtualbox-guest-utils 4.3.26-3 installed

Steps to reproduce:
Install chromium
Watch mouse cursor
