Nicholas Allam, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu on your host and guest? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command from your host (not your guest) in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: ubuntu-bug virtualbox ** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => virtualbox (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: virtualbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low ** Changed in: virtualbox (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1030452 Title: Mouse goes invisible upon activating any element.
