I am experiencing this same bug but have isolated to a specific set of criteria that is 100% reproducible.
This may not be the case for others, and it may occur in other screen configuration scenarios/combinations. I just hope my input may help pinpoint the root cause:

TheTLDR: It doesn't work with VirtualBox in "Fullscreen" on second
display.

Details of my or my scenario:

1.) I'm running VirtualBox on a second display
2.) It only occurs when the VM is in "Fullscreen"
3.) It works fine if VM is minimized, windowed or in "Seamless" mode
4.) Right now, I have it working in "Seamless" mode, which nice (but "Seamless" can sometimes be a little flaky with the window not wanting to be visible - but that's Oracle's problem)

Note: It is very cool now that I realized that I can also copy/paste
clipboard images back and forth with my VM... Maybe it's been around for
a little while, but it's new to me :)
