I have successfully created an ISO image (El Capitan) using the script provided in this forum. I then created a MacOS X Virtual Machine and ran the Installer (having first used the installer's Disk Utility to format a drive for the OS X install).
Everything ran through as expected, and I successfully booted up the El Capitan VM, created an account, and logged in. However.......
I now find that once I get to the desktop on the OSX VM any movement of the trackpad seems to cause me to be taken back to the login screen again. It looks like it's a mouse/trackpad issue but I can not be sure about that. Whatever the problem is makes the VM unusable since any attempt to open a window, launch an App, or open System Preferences results in a return to the login screen.
VirtualBox is running on a MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display 500GB HD 8GB RAM (MacOS 10.12.4) I am successfully running Windows 10 and Ubuntu VMs - not simultaneously. VirtualBox and MacOS are fully updated.
Has anyone got any ideas about what I'm doing wrong, or what I'm missing here?

• Do you have any USB filters set?
• What's the setting in VM settings » System » Pointing Device?
• Have you tried a mouse instead of the trackpad?

No USB filters set.
• What's the setting in VM settings » System » Pointing Device?
Pointing device currently set to "USB Tablet" but have previously tried "USB Multi-touch Tablet" but get the same behaviour (thrown back to login screen after any click or attempts to launch anything).
• Have you tried a mouse instead of the trackpad?
Have not tried with a mouse yet and will do so and report back.
