Description:
When I run a virtual machine (ubuntu-18.04.6-desktop-amd64.iso) using VirtualBox under Archlinux, everything runs fine as long as I don't enter a command involving the Host key. However, as soon as I enter such a command, (like Host+f for fullscreen) the VirtualBox Machine Freezes and I cant perform any task on it anymore. My Host Machine is still usable, but the hover feature of the mouse is disabled as long as I don't kill the virtual machine. Note that I have changed the host key to "Left Shift". Additional info: * package version(s): virtualbox-guest-iso-6.1.30-1-any virtualbox-6.1.30-3-x86_64 virtualbox-host-modules-arch-6.1.30-10-x86_64 Kernel : 5.15.13-arch1-1 * config and/or log files etc. OS type: 64-bit GNOME version: 41.2 4 CPU available to guest Hardware virtualization enabled 91 MB of Video Memory available to guest 3D acceleration disabled Steps to reproduce: 1. Install ubuntu-18.04.6-desktop-amd64.iso on a new VirtualBox virtual machine. 2. Shut down the machine after installation 3. Change the host key to "Left Shift" 4. Boot the virtual machine and log in 5. Use the key shortcut "Host+f" 6. The Virtual Machine should have frozen by now |

I now know that the problem is with the Mini ToolBar in fullscreen. When I was using the guest machine, the bug that I have reported also occured sometimes when I was hovering the Mini ToolBar, but more importantly, it always activated the bug when I clicked one of the options of the ToolBar. Therefore, I have decided to remove it by deactivating the option "Show in Full-screen/Seamless" in User Interface. I haven't had any problem since then. Also, I can now use the toolbar when I'm not in Fullscreen, but I'm not sure if that's because I now use a new version of virtualbox.
