I'm running Ubuntu Server 16.04.3 LTS VirtualBox VM with XFCE as desktop environment. Used VirtualBox is latest version 5.1.26 r117224. Frequently the mouse cursor is running out of sync and the only way I can fix it is restarting the VM. Can someone propose persistent solution for this problem?

  I found that exiting full screen mode and entering it again also solves the problem without restarting the VM.

I had the same problem, that the mouse pointer was offset running out of sync. My VirtualBox Ubuntu is running in Window Mode (not full-screen).

My solution:

• Resizing the VirtualBox window


• Then maximize the window

I had the same problem, however I was able to solve it doing the following :

1. In Virtualbox → Machine Settings → System → Motherboard
   I changed Pointing Device to "PS/2 Mouse"




2. In the hosted Ubuntu VM (Xubuntu in my case) go to Mouse and Touchpad change "Device" to "VirtualBox mouse integration"

That solved my issue and my mouse back to work normal.

I've had the same occasionally, with Kubuntu 16.04 in Virtualbox 5.2 running within Windows 10. Turning 'Devices>Mouse Integration' off and on again fixed it.

Resizing the host window had no effect for me and changing the pointing device while the VM was running wasn't possible. I've not tried full screen on this occasion, but it certainly seems like a viable fix, as it appears to reset mouse integration.
